Single release by The Smiths issued in May 1995 by Sire to promote the reissue of the compilation album Singles. The track was recorded back in 1986 and may be regarded as an outtake from the 1987 final studio album Strangeways, Here We Come. The single was issued with a sticker claiming it as "Previously unreleased"; however, the title track is found on the compilation album Louder Than Bombs from 1987, and the two following tracks are found on the 12'' single version of "Girlfriend in a Coma" (1987), and the live-recording "What's the World?" was previously released as B-side to "I Started Something I Couldn't Finish" (1987).
The single cover features a still of boxer Cornelius Carr from the music video for Morrissey's single "Boxers", as directed by James O'Brien in 1995.
