A version of the song was released on August 14 on a limited edition EP sold at various indie record stores along with Combinations, but this version was not approved by the band and is not the version produced by Rob Schnapf or Mike Mogis.

Backing vocals were performed by regular collaborators Emmy The Great and members of Tilly And The Wall, as well as members of Son, Ambulance, and other musicians from Omaha, Nebraska, where the song was recorded with producer Mike Mogis.
