Syd Barrett afirmou ter adormecido na floresta após um show e acordado ao avistar uma garota chamada Emily, inspirando a narrativa da canção.
A música foi originalmente intitulada “Games for May” como tema de um “happening” realizado na Queen Elizabeth Hall em 12 de maio de 1967, antes de ser rebatizada para “See Emily Play”.
A letra recebeu o nome da Honrável Emily Young, uma adolescente de 16 anos conhecida no cenário “UFO” como “a garota psicodélica da escola”, cuja presença inspirou o verso de abertura “Emily tries but misunderstands”.
Durante a turnê americana, ao apresentar a música no “American Bandstand”, Syd Barrett recusou‑se a dublar a faixa, permanecendo em silêncio com os lábios fechados enquanto a câmera o filmava.
