, originally released in 2007. A re-recorded version was released in March 2009. The original recording was produced by Jason Wilson at Stakeout Studios in Hampton. Wilson recorded all of their early work, helping develop the band's songwriting and performances from the age of 14.
The song is about how couples can tell abnormal behavioural styles of their partner leading to suspicion and then finally realising what has troubled them.

The re-recorded version was featured on the soundtrack of ''
Colin McRae: Dirt 2''.
