When asked about the development of the song, during a track-by-track reveal, bassist Guy Berryman said: When we came to record it in the studio we struggled because there was something just not quite right about it and I wasn't happy about where we'd left it and where we were happy to leave it and we couldn't put our finger on what it was and so it was a really nice day one day, me and Chris were just trying, I was actually just trying to record bass at the time and me and Chris were just sitting down trying to brainstorm it and work out what was wrong and so I started trying to just do a few different bass lines and stuff.
Under en gennemgang af numrene på albummet blev bassisten Guy Berryman spurgt om sangens udvikling, og han sagde: Da vi skulle optage den i studiet, havde vi problemer, fordi der var noget, der ikke var rigtigt ved den, og jeg var ikke glad for, hvor vi havde forladt den og hvor vi var glade for at forlade den, og vi kunne ikke sætte fingeren på hvad det var, så en dag var det en virkelig god dag, hvor Chris og jeg bare prøvede os frem, og jeg prøvede faktisk bare at optage bassen på det tidspunkt, og Chris og jeg sad bare og prøvede at brainstorme og finde ud af, hvad der var galt, og så prøvede jeg et par forskellige baslinjer og den slags.
