U2's "Salome" dates from 1991, with the whole band sharing the music credit and Bono writing the words. Paul Barrett produced it alongside U2, mixed it, engineered it with Ian Bryan and Louise McCormick, and added background vocals with Bryan. It rides a slinky, insistent groove rather than a stadium-sized chorus, Bono's words wound tight around the rhythm section and the backing voices circling behind him.
