The band's vocalist Alex Kapranos told Sunday Times Culture magazine: "I don't see the point of going, 'I'm really, really in love.' There's nothing more boring than that." More interesting he said, are "The subtleties, the unexpected twists that emotions can bring when characters collide. Walk Away is an example of that. You're trying to impose almost a hard, cold face on extreme emotions, and finding yourself undermined by your own passion."
Franz Ferdinand used Kraftwerk's UK #1 single "The Model" as the basis for this song. Alex Kapranos is one of the German band's most vocal supporters. He once said: "Forget about Dylan, Bowie, the Beatles, The Stones and Elvis. The men who made modern pop music sound the way it does today are called Kraftwerk."
