The song was released as a single from the band's third and final studio album, Special Beat Service, finding moderate chart success in the UK. Inspired by the romantic escapades of English tabloids and Wakeling's own personal relationships, the song featured a piano performance led by touring keyboardist Dave "Blockhead" Wright.
As the album's third single, "I Confess" found moderate success on the charts, peaking at No. 54 on the UK Singles Chart. The song was praised by critics. A music video for the track was also produced, featuring the band's parody of the New Romantics.
