The song's inclusion marked the only secular composition on "Material World". It also served as a rare foray into rock amid the album's abundance of spiritually themed ballads and occasional acoustic-based pop such as "Give Me Love" and "Don't Let Me Wait Too Long". Reflecting the album content, Tom Wilkes's design for the record's face labels contrasted a devout spiritual existence with life in the material world, by featuring a painting of Krishna and his warrior prince Arjuna on side one and a picture of a Mercedes stretch limousine on the reverse.
