"Jubilee Street" was written about a prostitute from the point of view of her customer, who later murders her after impregnating her.[4] The album Push the Sky Away contains the song "Finishing Jubilee Street" later in the track list, about a dream Cave had after he finished writing "Jubilee Street".[5]

The music video was directed by John Hillcoat and stars English actor Ray Winstone with an unnamed woman. The video features graphic nudity and includes scenes of Winstone caressing her feet.[6] It premiered exclusively on Noisey on 4 February 2013.[7]
