It was pushed back to July 15 in the United States to comply with the tradition of releasing songs on a Tuesday. It has the distinction of including a keyboard part despite the fact that the band has not had a keyboardist in their lineup since 2005, although "The Only One" and "NY Trip" feature piano parts. In an issue of Rolling Stone Magazine, Robert Smith stated that the song was originally written for the band's 1985 album "The Head on the Door".cite book |title = Fall Music Preview |publisher = "Rolling Stone" |date = October 2008 |pages = 34]
