This song was very likely written in the interim between the end of the Smiths and the beginning of Morrissey's solo career. It seems to have been recorded during the "Viva Hate" sessions which took place between October and December 1987 at Wool Hall Studios in Bath, with producer Stephen Street. Musicians on the recording were Vini Reilly (guitar), Stephen Street (bass) and Andrew Paresi (drums), as well as a string sextet led by John Metcalfe.
