You Am I opened the Dress Me Slowly chapter with "Damage" in October 2000, the first single from the Australian band's fifth studio album, and it got as high as 37 on the ARIA singles chart. Frontman Tim Rogers wrote it, and Clif Norrell produced, recorded and mixed it, one set of ears from the first take to the final mix.
The CD single came loaded with three more Rogers originals: "She Don't Need the Morning", "One Cent Coins" and "Open All Night". That last one started out as "Dress Me Slowly" and was headed for the album, until the band balked at having a song named after the record on the record itself, a rule they had already broken on Sound as Ever and Hourly, Daily and would break again on Deliverance and Dilettantes.
