 Kipner and Groves had originally recorded the track on only guitar and piano.They would usually experiment with whatever was in the studio until Kipner concluded, "There was a drum kit, but the pedal was broken, so I pushed it by hand to make us a drum track, then Maurice put bass on it, playing with his broken arm".The song's distinct "wobbled" piano melody was discovered accidentally when an engineer leaned on a tape machine creating the sound.
