Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about The Loving Kind. By Songfacts®.

This electro-pop song was co-written by The Pet Shop Boys. Girls Aloud member Kimberley Walsh explained to The Sun October 23, 2008 how the girls ended up teaming up with the duo: "They were in the studio recording stuff for their album with Brian (Higgins, Girls Aloud producer) and they wrote that song for us. But it was a bit mad. When we heard it, we were like, 'That sounds like the Pet Shop Boys.'"

Pet Shop Boy Neil Tennant explained to Digital Spy why he and Chris Lowe didn't record this song themselves: "It was written for us originally. Xenomania already had the backing track, I came up with the chorus melody and Chris wrote the verse melody. There's a bit Girls Aloud don't sing on their version actually - a really high bit on the verse. I loved the song, but Chris thought it was a bit down for us. He thought it wasn't anything we hadn't done before."
