Background

The song had been originally demoed during early sessions to We Love Life,[1] the band's seventh and last studio album to date. The song wasn't finished and remained unreleased like several other songs from that period.[2] Pulp finally went back to finish the song in late 2012 during their successful comeback 2011-2012 tour.[1]

Release

"After You" was originally released as free download for those who received a Christmas card at Pulp's hometown show at the Motorpoint Arena on 8 December 2012. The card contained a unique code to give access to a downloadable gift, which was made available after midnight on Christmas Eve.[1] The song finally received a commercial release in January 2013, in a form of download single.[3]

The band performed "After You" on The Jonathan Ross Show on 9 February 2013.[4]

The song was remixed by Soulwax and released on 12" vinyl especially for the 2013 Record Store Day.[5][6]

Uses on other media

The Soulwax remix of "After You" was featured in the video game Grand Theft Auto V on the game's radio station Soulwax FM.[7][8]
