"Men's Needs" was The Cribs' first new music since December 2005 when it arrived in May 2007 as the lead single from their third album, Men's Needs, Women's Needs, Whatever, on Wichita. Gary, Ryan and Ross Jarman wrote it together: Gary on bass, Ryan on guitar, Ross on drums, with Gary and Ryan sharing the vocals.

The producer's chair went to Franz Ferdinand singer and guitarist Alex Kapranos, who cut it with the band at the Warehouse Studio in Vancouver before it got some finishing work at Alchemy in London and a mix from Andy Wallace. It came out on two seven-inches and a CD single, wrapped in a sleeve by regular collaborator Nick Scott.
