"Two Months Off" led the charge for A Hundred Days Off, Underworld's sixth album, in 2002, and it was among the first songs Underworld released as a duo. Karl Hyde and Rick Smith wrote and produced it themselves, Hyde singing lead and Smith on keyboards, while Smith and Mike Nielsen recorded, engineered and mixed it. Juanita Boxill supplies the brief spoken-word passage over the lead-in, and she turns up again on the album's "Little Speaker".
It reached 12 on the UK Singles Chart and 2 on Billboard's Dance Club Play chart in the US. Years later, a stripped-down, reworked take on its bridge resurfaced inside "And I Will Kiss" and "Caliban's Dream", the songs Smith wrote for the opening ceremony of the 2012 Summer Olympics.
