The song first appeared on the UK only 12" single "It Ain't a Crime", which was released through XL Recordings. It was released as a maxi-single via Tommy Boy Records following-up aforementioned "It Ain't a Crime".

Alternative Press magazine editor described the song as it "recreates the rap/metal feel of the "Shamrocks And Shenanigans" remix, but with a darker edge".[1]

Despite the music video was directed for the song, "Legend" ended up missing from the final cut of the group's second studio full-length Same as It Ever Was.
