This is the first single from Keane's 2010 EP, Night Train. The song is a collaboration with Somali-Canadian rapper, K'naan.
Keyboardist Tim Rice-Oxley told AntiMusic about the song: "It's quite dark. I think the message of the song is about not trying to get too bogged down in over-thinking stuff all the time. If you sit down for too long, you can easily make yourself depressed! I guess it's about trying to rise above that."
Night Train was recorded in various studios throughout the globe on Keane's world tour for 2008's Perfect Symmetry. The title alludes to the band's traveling on trains between gigs, their favorite method of travel. "The idea was to chuck out a single, or at most an EP in October," Keane vocalist Tom Chaplin told Billboard magazine. "But it turned into something more. I think we see it as a body of work that we made during touring. Just a document of different places and moods."
