"Animal" was the lead single from Of Someday Shambles, Jebediah's second album, cut between April and June of 1999 with American producer Mark Trombino, who also recorded and mixed it. All four members share the writing: Kevin Mitchell, who wrote the words, sings lead and plays rhythm guitar, with Chris Daymond on guitar, Vanessa Thornton on bass and Kevin's older brother Brett Mitchell on drums.
Brett pitched it as a straight-up pop song and one of the simplest arrangements the band had ever tackled, with no breakdown and a beat that never lets up from the first bar to the last; he reckoned it came out like a nastier Ratcat. It climbed to 16 on the Australian ARIA singles chart.
