Van McCann wrote the words to "Cocoon" about an on-off girlfriend, and the Welsh band Catfish and the Bottlemen put it out in September 2014 as the fifth single from The Balcony, their debut album. McCann shares the music credit with Billy Bibby, Benji Blakeway and Bob Hall and adds piano. Jim Abbiss produced, Ian Dowling engineered and mixed, and the single came with no B-side at all.
It has had a long afterlife in games: a radio edit, with one curse swapped out, turned up on the FIFA 15 soundtrack and again on FIFA 23, and it was sold as a downloadable track for Rock Band 4.
