In this song featuring the vocals of Australian born singer Daniel Merriweather, Ronson produced a Motown pastiche cover of The Smiths' song, "Stop Me If You Think You've Heard This One Before," merging it with The Supremes "You Keep Me Hangin' On."
This achieved the highest ever UK chart position for a Smiths song.
"Stop Me If You Think You've Heard This One Before" was originally featured on the Smiths' 1987 album Strangeways, Here We Come. It was originally planned to be released as a single but the band changed their mind after the BBC banned the song. This was because of the lyric "And plan a mass murder" during a sensitive time in Britain after the massacre of 16 people by an unemployed laborer in the town of Hungerford.
