"Prettiest Thing" was the third single the Creatures, the duo of singer Siouxsie Sioux and drummer Budgie, took from their 1998 album Anima Animus, following "Say" and coming ahead of "Godzilla!". Ian Caple and Steve Lyon co-produced it, and Uncut's Chris Roberts heard something sinister in it, calling it "a malevolent mini-movie".
The single went out dressed for the clubs: a 10-inch vinyl with Howie B's "Hormonal Mix" on one side and the "Subsonic Legacy Remix" on the other, plus two CDs, the first pairing both remixes with an edit of the album version, the second carrying Superchumbo's "Waking Dream Mix" next to "Guillotine (Bitten by the Black Dog)" and "Turn It On (Emperor Sly's Elemental Mix)".
