"Love Long Distance" was the second single from Music for Men, the Gossip's 2009 album for Columbia, and it came out in the US that September, stepping out after "Heavy Cross" with "Pop Goes the World" waiting in the wings. Its cheekiest move is a borrowed hook: the song quotes the refrain of Marvin Gaye's "I Heard It Through the Grapevine", a neat bit of larceny for a dance-punk single.
Rick Rubin produced it, and Greg Fidelman both recorded and mixed it, with Andrew Scheps adding an extra mix, Dana Nielsen handling additional recording, and Sara Lyn Killion and Eric Lynn assisting on the engineering.
