"Unfinished Business"
Song

"Unfinished Business" is a song released by UK band White Lies on 28 April 2008 [1] on 7" vinyl. It was limited to 500 copies. A re-recorded version of the song appears on their debut album To Lose My Life.... The most obvious difference between the two versions of the song is album version does not feature the high-pitched backing vocals by bassist Charles Cave over the last chorus.

The single's b-side, "You Still Love Him", shares its chorus melody and lyrics with the song "One Night Friend". "One Night Friend" had previously been recorded by the band under their previous incarnation, Fear of Flying. On their 2009 European tour, White Lies began playing "You Still Love Him" live for the first time.

"Unfinished Business" was written in under fifteen minutes, and directly led to the band's later name change.[2]

Music video

Directed by Simon Green, the song's music video features the band playing in a room whilst interjected with black and white footage of a young woman acting out a dream sequence. The latter is shot in reverse.
