The single was first released in the UK on 15 September 2009[1] as the lead single from the band's debut EP Summertime!, but was later re-released on 9 August 2010. On both releases, the track was released as a double A-side with the Summertime! EP exclusive track "Don't Be a Jerk, Johnny", although only the lead track received chart placement in the UK. An excerpt of the song was used in advertising for Volkswagen.
