It features on their debut extended play, They Liked You Better When You Were Dead and is the first song on the UK version of the EP. The title is a reference to author Chuck Palahniuk,[1] while the song was originally called "Out Swimming In The Flood" but the title was changed out of respect after the Tsunami in Asia on 26 December 2004.[2] A video was made for the song to promote the release of the EP and received heavy rotation at the time on Kerrang TV. The video was directed by the band's bassist Dan Haigh.[3]
