Marcus Congleton wrote "Primitive (The Way I Treat You)", and Ambulance LTD first committed it to tape for their self-titled debut EP, which came out in June 2003 with Ron A. Shaffer producing. The EP was the American indie rock group's opening move, and it doubled as a preview of their first full-length: this song, "Heavy Lifting", "Young Urban" and "Stay Where You Are" all appear on it in their original versions, and all four were recorded again for the album, LP. The EP take is where the song started.
