A capa do single contou com a contribuição da baixista do Sonic Youth, Kim Gordon, que doou sua caligrafia após o fotógrafo Brace Paine se encantar com o que chamou de "fonte punk rock" vista em um antigo panfleto universitário.
A versão remixada pela banda Le Tigre foi lançada como o primeiro single de estreia do Gossip em 2005, antecedendo o lançamento do single da versão original em 2006.
Um novo número de catálogo para o relançamento em fevereiro de 2007 fez com que a escalada da música para a sétima posição na UK Singles Chart fosse registrada como uma nova entrada, e não como uma subida contínua desde sua anterior posição 13.
A edição remixada dos Soulwax Nite Versions ganhou destaque cultural por ser amplamente utilizada na campanha publicitária da série de TV britânica Skins, em 2007, e constar na trilha sonora da mesma.
A revista NME celebrou a faixa posicionando-a na 23º colocação da lista das "50 Maiores Anthems Indie de Todos os Tempos" em maio de 2007 e na 34º posição dos "150 Melhores Faixas dos Últimos 15 Anos" em outubro de 2011.
A música alcançou o primeiro lugar na UK Indie Chart por uma semana e foi inclusa na lista dos "Top 500 Maiores Faixas dos Anos 2000" pela Pitchfork em 2009, ocupando a posição 429.
