This album is actually the second album the band did for Capital Records. The band's first effort was an album which was recorded before 'Come Down' called 'The Black Album', which was rejected by Capitol for, according to frontman Courtney Taylor-Taylor, containing "no songs". It was later released as a double album in 2004 with 'Come On Feel the Dandy Warhols', an album composed of B-sides and previously unreleased material.
Calla was formed in North Texas in 1997 and the band has been based in Brooklyn, New York for most of its existence.

This song is the closing track from their new album, 'V', which is out on Friday. Man, if this is the last track, I can't wait to hear the whole thing!
Pains frontman Kip Berman describes this track as a love song for life’s non-casual relationships. “So many young bands sing idly of absolute devotion, and that’s cool,” Berman told Billboard. “But I am not young anymore. I’m married, with a young daughter and an old Volvo. There’s something about my life now that makes this song feel honest in a way it didn’t before.”
