The track was inspired by the Iraq conflict hence the Arabic text on the red labels. 1000 copies were pressed. It is one of the band's rarer promotional singles, along with "The Wassailing Song", "Death of a Party" and "Bugman".

According to Damon Albarn, when a box of these vinyls were going through customs, one of the boxes was labeled "bomb". This led to the boxes being handed over to the police and being destroyed in a controlled explosion.

The track was included in the band's Blur 21 box set in 2012.
