"P.S. You Rock My World" comes from Electro-Shock Blues, the second Eels album, which DreamWorks released in the UK on September 21, 1998, and in the US that October. E wrote it, words and music, and produced it himself.
The album around it was written largely in response to loss: the suicide of E's sister Elizabeth, whose electroconvulsive therapy gave the record its title, and his mother's terminal lung cancer. With his father already gone since 1982, many of the songs deal with their decline and with E coming to terms with being the last living member of his family. Critics took to it, many remarking on how much darker it runs than Beautiful Freak, even though it sold far less.
