00:00 It meant very little to us
00:17 The fastest selling debut album of all time
00:28 A song that would change everything
00:40 Origins
01:55 Lyrics
03:14 The first demo version
04:10 A smack between the ears
04:36 The moment that kickstarted everything
05:40 Signing to Domino Records
05:58 A first attempt at recording the album version
06:50 Onboarding another producer
07:26 Recording “Whatever people say I am, that’s what I’m not”
07:48 I’m sick of this song
08:20 Music Video
09:48 Remembering the moment the song went to Number 1
10:15 Falling in and out with the song
10:38 Susanna looks good on the dancefloor
