A faixa foi gravada em sessões alternadas entre Paris e Londres, antes de ser mixada em Dinamarca.
O riff de guitarra marcante, inédito até então na discografia da banda, foi resultado da arrumação de Alan Wilder.
O título, escrito por Martin Gore, aborda a fuga do narrador da dependência, refletindo temas de alienação e resistência.
Embora não tenha sido um grande sucesso nas paradas, a canção se consolidou como peça obrigatória nos shows ao vivo da banda.
A música foi incluída em trilhas sonoras de séries como *The Last of Us* e *Euphoria*, ampliando sua presença cultural fora do cenário musical original.
O single contou com amostras de “When the Levee Breaks” (Led Zeppelin) e de “Carmina Burana” (Carl Orff), demonstrando a fusão de gêneros eletrônicos e clássicos no trabalho da banda.
