The song was written by Toyah Willcox and Joel Bogen, and produced by Steve Lillywhite. Toyah has described it as "a sad love song, because I wrote most of it (...) after a tremendous row with my boyfriend. But I could never do a love song true to myself, because that's being selfish. I prefer what I call open lyrics, so that the kids can fit their own feelings to them... And so [it] is a love song, because I think everyone goes through the phase when they think no one in the world knows how hurt they are – experiencing a loneliness that no one knows, but everyone knows it". [1] The singer also opined that Bogen's guitar line in the song would subsequently be copied on records by other bands, including U2.
