"Bitter Salt" turns up on On My One, Jake Bugg's third album, released in June 2016, and he wrote it by himself. That suits the record's title, a Nottingham turn of phrase meaning "on my own": Bugg said the album was mostly him going it alone, and he saw it as the next logical step for him as a songwriter.
Even so, "Bitter Salt" leans on a small crew. Jacknife Lee produced it and plays guitar alongside Bugg, plus bass, keyboards and percussion; Jamie Muhoberac adds more keys, Matt Bishop drums and engineers, and Cenzo Townshend mixed it, with Bugg on vocals.
