Tim Rogers said the song was one of two songs that, "Russ hadn't actually heard before we recorded them. I was talking him through it as we were recording and I think he only played it twice and that's the final take."
Rogers said the song was inspired by AM radio stations that he would listen to in the morning while writing the album 'Hourly, Daily'. "Often I wake up depressed, as people do, and I found it really comforting. I could see how you could get attached to it, instead of waking up with someone next to you."
The Mark Hartley directed music video was nominated for the ARIA Award for Best Video at the ARIA Music Awards of 1997.ARIA Award previous winners.
