Death

Bass guitarist and lyricist Charles Cave admitted to Mojo magazine February 2009 that this song "has a pretty depressing lyric." He added: "But it's uplifting too because it can help people feel it's alright to think and worry about these things. We're less about 'I hate everything' than finding solace in introspective thought. I've been a worrier since I was about seven, which used to keep me up at night! It's not so all-consuming now."

Cave told The Fly magazine that this was "only the second song we ever wrote." He added: "We have expanded on it and we've written different songs since then, some of which we all prefer to it, but it's one of those songs that just somehow manages to fit so many ideas into a five-minute piece of music without sounding like there's too many ideas. It sounds very consistent and coherent and it moves in a very natural way but there is actually quite a lot going on with different sounds, different rhythms and tempos."

Drummer Jack Lawrence-Brown told The Fly that the "palate of sounds" the band used for To Lose My Life… came from this song. He explained: "We realized as soon as we started playing live that, in terms of our live show, even before it was a single, it was a song that people really got straightaway and it feels like that's the one that's really connected well with people and is a really exciting moment in our set. A good way to open the album is to give the people who have heard us and seen us live that excitement at the start of an album, that song they already know and love and I think that will definitely help grab attention for what essentially is gonna be an album that people have never heard."
