The band liked the sound of the song when played backwards, so they began with the percussion track from Gun and added melody, which was recorded by playing it in reverse. The song started with a loop in reverse of a brass part that the Banshees previously arranged in 1987 for a cover of John Cale's "Gun". The song's peculiar sound is due to the recording of the instrumental portion of the song (mostly percussion and an accordion) being backmasked.
Melody Maker described it as "a brightly unexpected mixture of black steel and pop disturbance". It was released in 1988 as the first single from the band's ninth studio album Peepshow. "Peek-a-Boo" is a song written, produced and recorded by English rock band Siouxsie & the Banshees.
