Nothing to do with the Barry McGuire protest song of the same title, this cut grew from a riff created on a buchla 200 modular synthesizer. The Chemical Brothers' Tom Rowlands explained to Billboard they came up with a "future funk odyssey" which points to the angst of our times in which 'Eve' is "the bringer of destruction."
The song is one of several tracks that features vocals by Norwegian singer Aurora, who wrote and recorded parts in Tom Rowland's East Sussex studio. She told NME: "I listened to the tracks and knew right away so wrote the melody and lyrics at the airport where I was stuck for three hours. Then Tom just took care of his favorite parts and that's how it happened."
The song samples Class Action’s 1983 post-disco hit "Weekend."
