"God! Show Me Magic" first surfaced on the Moog Droog EP, which Super Furry Animals put out on the Ankst label in 1995, and a later version became their second single, released on Creation in April 1996 between "Hometown Unicorn" and "Something 4 the Weekend". It was the one that finally got them into the UK Top 40, peaking at number 33.
The writing credit is split five ways, among Gruff Rhys, Huw Bunford, Cian Ciaran, Guto Pryce and Dafydd Ieuan, and the single's sleeve carried a line of Welsh, "Gorau chwarae, cyd chwarae", the motto of the Football Association of Wales. It translates roughly as a reminder that playing together beats playing alone, a fair slogan for a band that shares its songs this evenly.
