This song was the theme song for the 1992 movie Bram Stoker's Dracula. It was released as a single along with "Little Bird," a track from Annie Lennox' first solo album, Diva, which was released earlier in the year.
Annie Lennox explained her inspirations for this song in a blog promoting her 2009 greatest hits album: "Francis Ford Coppola was going to make a film about vampires taken from Dracula by Bram Stoker, but then I went and read Anne Rice, and really discovered a whole other side to the mythology. I was fascinated by the vampire in psychic and psychological terms, and I wanted to write a song which could contain something of the essence of that dark place. The vampire is the ultimate metaphor for compulsive addictive behavior. Vampire and victim are the ultimate co-dependents, doomed for eternity."
Sophie Muller directed the dark music video, which incorporates scenes from the film while Lennox performs in a garden.
