B side: “Europe is Our Playground”, first single to Coming Up

First single in which all songs were written without Benard Butler | Tied with “Stay Together” as the band’s best performing single, hitting number #3 | Band’s best selling single

From Brett Anderson:

“I actually wrote it about the band Suede. It’s a celebration of the band, but by extension, it’s a celebration of the fans as well. And it was a kind of a song written about us, as a gang, it was written about the values we stood for. And even though it sounds like a love song, it was actually about the idea of the identity of the band, and what they stood for.”
