==Background and recording==
Lead singer Richard Ashcroft wrote the song in early 1995. He briefly mentioned it in an interview at the time, relating it to his drug usage: "There's a new track I've just written () It goes 'the drugs don't work, they just make me worse, and I know I'll see your face again'. That's how I'm feeling at the moment. They make me worse, man. But I still take 'em. Out of boredom and frustration you turn to something else to escape."
Ashcroft also performed the song when the band was touring in support of ''A Northern Soul''.〔()〕〔()〕 The song was eventually recorded for ''Urban Hymns''. The album's producer, Chris Potter later referred to it as both the best song and best vocal he had ever recorded.
The single was noted during Channel 4's ''100 Greatest #1 Singles'' program as unintentionally capturing the spirit of the nation as it was released the day after Princess Diana died.
