"Bones" was among the first songs from An End Has a Start that Editors road-tested on stage, played live alongside "The Weight of the World" in 2006, before the album came out in 2007. It kept mutating after that, the bridge and the outro most of all, and the band teased the reworked version in a short video of their own months ahead of the record. Jacknife Lee produced it, Cenzo Townshend mixed and Tom McFall engineered, and the writing credit goes to Tom Smith, Chris Urbanowicz, Russell Leetch and Ed Lay.
It ended up as the album's fifth and last single, a download-only release for continental Europe on PIAS, sent out to keep the band's brooding post-punk revival in view through festival season and while they opened for R.E.M. at their German shows in July.
