The packaging of the single features a quote in Welsh, 'Un i rannu, llall i ddewis', which roughly translates into English as 'One to share, the other to choose', a principle taken from the Laws of Hywel Dda which also appears in the lyrics of the album track "Download" from Radiator.

Hermann and Pauline are the names of the parents of Albert Einstein, and the song refers to them and the young Albert. The cover art for the single continues the theme.
