Lyrical meaning

The lyrics supposedly describe a previous girlfriend claiming that she broke (presumably) Fray's heart and that she knows him better than any other, and seems to look down on him for his ambitions in relation to music, while Fray counters this with the argument that he's a lot more sophisticated and intelligent than he is given credit for and will one day have more success than predicted.

Chart performance

The single was released on 23 June 2008 and managed to enter the UK Singles Chart at a peak of #35, making it The Courteeners' third UK Top 40 entry.
