He described the lyrics of the song as being \"about staying up all night.\"\n\nThe band first recorded the song at Real World Studios in a heavier, more downbeat arrangement, which Tim Brown described as \"a bit underwhelming.\"\n\nAfter pressure from Creation Records, they re-recorded it at Rockfield Studios, where they were inspired to use a Motown beat after listening to a Style Council B -side. They also recruited Tom Jones' brass section to play on the track. https://tinyurl.com/3f3h9m39", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }
