Dogs Die in Hot Cars kicked off the singles from their debut album, Please Describe Yourself, with "Godhopping", out in the UK on 25 May 2004 through V2 before rolling out worldwide; it was only the British band's second single. Singer and guitarist Craig Macintosh wrote it, and Clive Langer and Alan Winstanley produced it.

Its engine is a pair of heavily syncopated piano riffs that race against each other, a jittery pop rock bounce aimed at a sly target: people who pick their religion by whatever happens to be in fashion. It reached number 24 on the UK Singles Chart.
