It was written by the three band members Robert Del Naja, Andrew Vowles and Grant Marshall, the song's vocalist Shara Nelson and the group's co-producer Jonathan Sharp.
The song was released as the second single from the band's debut album Blue Lines, on the band's Wild Bunch label distributed through Circa Records on 11 February 1991. The choice of using the name "Massive" was done to avoid a radio ban as its release coincided with the Gulf War. Produced by Massive Attack and Dollar, the song incorporates various musical elements into its arrangement, including vocal and percussion samples, drum programming, and string orchestration by arranger Will Malone.
