Don't Mug Yourself

Background and writing
Skinner told NME how the song was created: "I left it really late – the night before I was supposed to be cutting it, I still hadn’t recorded it," he said. "I had to get away from it because my head was really clouded. So I went out to watch a film (Monsoon Wedding) and Calvin came along with a bottle of rum. We drank the bottle in the cinema, then went to a bar and ended up getting really, really smashed. We got back to my house and Calvin heard the instrumental and he was like 'I want to be on this tune'. He’s not a singer, he’s just my mate."
