Background



The song developed from sessions lead singer Ian McCulloch had with three London-based musicians."[http://www.live4ever.uk.com/2009/09/echo-and-the-bunnymen-announce-special-intimate-nyc-show/ Echo and The Bunnymen Announce Special Intimate NYC Show]".

McCulloch said, "I thought [guitarist Will Sergeant and I] needed to do stuff differently, but so the result still sounded like the Bunnymen." McCulloch felt that the sound was right and he and Sergeant returned to the studio to record material for 'Fountain', including "Think I Need It Too".
