"Dirt" comes off Dead Elvis, Death in Vegas' debut album, which reached shops in Britain on 10 March 1997, and it carries the fingerprints of a lineup that didn't last: Richard Fearless wrote it with Steve Hellier, an original member who appears on no other Death in Vegas album.

Anthony Anderson plays guitar, a bassist credited as Nick 'Avin It holds down the bottom end, and Tim Holmes engineered and mixed it. The video found a home on MTV's 120 Minutes, where it became a minor hit, and the album was eventually certified silver in Britain for 60,000 units.
