Background

Writing and recording

Both songs were recorded at Great Linford Manor in Great Linford, Buckinghamshire in early 2000 and were produced and mixed by Chris Sheldon.[2] The Law included drum machine samples, which were credited on the single's sleeve to "Roland".

Themes

The band explained that Bionic is "about the passionate and cathartic relationship between the band and our audience. The intense connection live. Where everything that hurts and pains everyday doesn't matter any more. Escaping!".[3] The Law is "a tale of seduction and corruption. About getting your leg over with a copper and being caught with your pants down".[4]

Reception

Melody Maker were overwhelmingly positive, giving the single 4.5/5 and commenting "totally unstoppable and deliriously frenzied".[4]
