Details

• The music video was directed by Róisín Murphy.
  
• 'Unputdownable' compares a romantic relationship to reading a good book. There are several allusions to death throughout the song that suggests that the relationship has ended. 'Well I'm left in confusion by your epilogue. Where is the conclusion?' 
  
  The songs feels like it is looking back on something which is fitting as it is the last song on the album.

'Unputdownable is a love song. Just a sweet love song. That, again, was written in that sort of old-fashioned way where we allowed a stream of consciousness to happen and, it was a song that sort of wrote itself, it’s one idea, one metaphor of the one you love is as interesting as a very, very, very good book. And it’s not meant to be very complicated, it’s about just love.' (Roisin Murphy from Hairless Toys: Track by Track)'
