Earlier this year, frontman Dave McCabe opened up to NME about the band’s biggest hit, ‘Valerie’. While it was a success for The Zutons in 2006, it gained a whole new level of popularity when Mark Ronson and Amy Winehouse released a cover the following year.
He told NME in Does Rock ‘N’ Roll Kill Braincells?! that the cover came about after Winehouse told him to “fuck off”, saying: “I walked out of the house in the strop, and she followed me and pleaded: ‘Please come back. I’m sorry I told you to fuck off,” he continued. “I really like that song’ [‘Valerie’]. We went back in and carried on drinking.”
‘The Big Decider’ was produced by the legendary Nile Rodgers and Ian Broudie. Back in 2021, NME spoke to McCabe during the process of working with Rodgers, saying he was “bringing the best out of us as a band.”
“I thought, ‘Is he just gonna turn up and start playing rink-a-dink-a-dink disco stuff?’,” he said. “But he hasn’t played a note. He’s just suggested things and let us build on it.”
