A demo of the song was recorded at Adam Schlesinger's home studio starting with a drum machine pattern, but the band replaced most of the original tracks found on the demo once they relocated to TMF Studios. The song was primarily recorded using a Proteus 2000 module, although the gated guitar sound on the chorus was created using a preset on a Roland synthesizer. John Flansburgh likened the song's rhythm tracks to early music from the Pet Shop Boys and believed that the remaining instrumentation resembled New Order.
