It was first released on August 13, 2007 by PIAS Recordings accompanied by the b-side "XxzxcuZx Me".

Kath also produced the re-worked track. The song contains prominent electro and chiptune musical characteristics. The track consists of only three lyric lines and has been said to tell a story about the sadness and ennui one might experience when locked inside a Pac-Man maze for eternity.

The single was accompanied by a music video upon its re-release in 2008.
