"Cigarettes and Suitcases" comes from Desert Lights, the fifth studio album from Melbourne's Something for Kate, which came out on 1 June 2006. The band made the record in Los Angeles over four months with Brad Wood, a producer whose résumé ran through Ben Lee, the Smashing Pumpkins and Liz Phair, and he both produced and engineered this track.

Paul Dempsey plays guitar, Stephanie Ashworth bass and Clint Hyndman percussion, the lineup the band had settled on by 1998. Desert Lights went on to top the ARIA chart, their second number-one album after The Official Fiction, and it went gold within a month of release.
