After the band's previous album 'Led Zeppelin III' received lukewarm reviews from critics, Jimmy Page decided their fourth album would officially be untitled. This, along with the inner sleeve's design featuring four symbols that represented each band member, led to the album being referred to variously as The Four Symbols logo, Four Symbols, The Fourth Album, Untitled, Runes, The Hermit, and ZoSo (which was derived from Page's symbol). In addition to lacking an album title, the cover featured no band name, as the group wished to be anonymous and to avoid easy pigeonholing by the press. It went on to be, at the time, the 3rd best selling album in the USA.

Moby initially disliked this track, criticizing his production as "mushy" and his vocals as "really weak". He had dismissed "Porcelain" as "average" and later recalled that he "couldn't imagine anyone else wanting to listen to it" – however, he was eventually talked into including it on 'Play'. It was released as the 6th single from the album and turned into the biggest hit from the album.

Christ, imagine how good this song would be if he'd just put in one more minute - slacker!
