Miles Kane admitted in interviews that "Come Closer" was a sleazy one, and he pointed to John Lennon as the spark behind it. The English singer wrote it alone, and it ended up on Colour of the Trap, his 2011 album; he sings and plays guitar on it, with Dan Carey producing and covering bass and keyboards, Leo Taylor on drums, and Lianne La Havas and Gruff Rhys on backing vocals. Dan the Automator chipped in additional production, and Tom Elmhirst recorded and mixed it.
The single arrived as a limited seven-inch and a download, and the first 500 copies of the vinyl came with a lyric sheet Kane had signed. Dan Sully directed the video, shot at the Mile Way club, a studio in North London, and it went online in December 2010.
