Wolfmother were hauling "White Unicorn" around before they had an album to put it on: it was one of four songs the Australian hard rock band cut for their self-titled 2004 EP, when it still went by "The White Unicorn". Andrew Stockdale, Chris Ross and Myles Heskett wrote it together, and the following year they tracked it again for the full-length debut, also self-titled, with Dave Sardy producing and mixing and Ryan Castle engineering.
In Australia it became the album's second single on 26 February 2006, backed with "Love Train" plus the videos for "Dimension" and "Mind's Eye" from the recent Dimensions EP. It went straight in at number 33 on the Australian singles chart and climbed no higher, holding a top-50 spot for three weeks, and in America it reached 29 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock chart.
