Writing and recording

The song was originally written for a film called Chemical Wedding, which existed only as a script at the time (it was eventually filmed and released in May 2008). The original version of the song, included on The Best of Bruce Dickinson, was recorded in 1990, engineered by André Jacquemin (who is better known for his sound-engineer work for Monty Python), and featured Janick Gers on guitar.[note 1]
