Background and content

Following the band's eighth studio album This Machine in 2012, the band released the stand-alone single "Chauncey P vs. All the Girls in London" in 2015, which was reworked and included on Distortland under the shortened title "All the Girls in London". Along with "STYGGO", then presented in its full title "Some Things You Gotta Get Over", and "You Are Killing Me", the song was often played during the band's 2015 tour.
