The song premiered on Phil Jupitus' show on 6music in early May. The lyrics reference Dora Maar, a French photographer and one-time lover of Pablo Picasso. The sample at the beginning of the song is from an interview with film director Francis Ford Coppola's wife about the making of Apocalypse Now.[1] Derek Jarman, as referred to in the B-side 'Derek Jarman's Garden', was an English film director, stage designer, artist, and writer. A book called Derek Jarman's Garden was published in 2005.[2]
