The song was released on 15 June 2021.[9] "Chaise Longue" has been described as a tongue-in-cheek[1][4]post-punk song.[1][2] The track starts with a minimalistic drum beat and bass line, with the vocals sung in a deadpan style and a guitar joining in later in the song.[2][10] The lyric "Is your muffin buttered?/Would you like us to assign someone to butter your muffin?" is a direct quotation from the 2004 teen comedy Mean Girls.[11]
It was written in 2019[12] in a single day by vocalist Rhian Teasdale while she was sitting on an actual
chaise longue owned by guitarist Hester Chambers's grandfather.[4] A music video, also directed by Teasdale, was released on the same day as the release of the single.[6]
