Foi lançada como a faixa A do EP *Sit Down* em 1989.
Após um conflito de direitos autorais com o selo, a banda gravou uma versão mais curta.
A nova gravação foi incluída na reedição de *Gold Mother* em 1991 e lançada como single.
Enquanto a primeira edição apresentava um longo solo de piano no final, a versão regravada foi mais enxuta e adequada para rádio, além de ter um mix mais rock e letras alteradas.
