Song information

"He Said He Loved Me" was co-written by Alan Smyth, Jon McClure, and Alex Turner of fellow English rock band Arctic Monkeys. Like Reverend and the Makers' debut single, "Heavyweight Champion of the World", it is also attributed to Alan Smyth, who produced the original demos for the band. The song and B-side "You Get So Alone It Just Makes Sense" both appear on the demo release Ten Songs; the latter track was taken from the title of a collection of poems by Charles Bukowski. The other B-side, "God Is in the TV", was originally a song by McClure's previous band, 1984. Both B-sides were co-written by Ed Cosens.
