On "Broken Promise", from Meds, Placebo's fifth studio album, released on Virgin in March 2006, the band make room for a guest vocal from Michael Stipe. Brian Molko, Stefan Olsdal and Steve Hewitt share the writing credit, and Meds turned out to be Hewitt's last album as the band's drummer.

Dimitri Tikovoï produced it during sessions that ran from late 2005 into early 2006, with James Brown engineering and David Bascombe mixing. The album leaked online in January, weeks before it was due in the shops, and still made the UK top ten and became the band's first record to reach the Billboard 200.
