1992年發行這張單曲，並收錄在第一張專輯《Pablo Honey》，單曲發行時並未在排行榜上獲得成功，但隨著1993年專輯發行，這首單曲成了當時全球熱播；之後的幾年團員們曾因變得有些厭倦這首歌而短暫停止表演這首曲目。

根據貝斯手Colin Greenwood的描述，Thom Torke是在1980年代就讀艾希特大學時寫下這首歌；吉他手Jonny Greenwood則表示這首歌的靈感來自於一位Yorke當時在追蹤的女孩，並意外地發現她有來看Radiohead的演出。




在1992年，在為第一張專輯練唱時Radiohead無意間彈奏了這首曲目"Creep"，Yorke開玩笑地形容這是一首"Scott Walker風格的歌"，製作人Sean Slade與Paul Q. Kolderie誤以為指的是這首歌是翻唱。在經過幾次錄製其他的歌曲失敗後，製作人S與K建議他們在彈奏一次"Creep"，他們僅錄製一次就成功，並在表演完立刻獲得所有在場人的熱烈掌聲。在電台總司令向K確定這首歌為原創歌曲，K告訴EMI這是電台總司令的第一張單曲。儘管錄製只有微小的調整（overdubs），但電台總司令並不打算發行那個版本，這讓製作人有些失望。

The version issued for radio play replaces the line "so fucking special" with "so very special". Radiohead worried that issuing a censored version would be selling out, but decided it was acceptable since their idols Sonic Youth had done the same thing; nonetheless, Jonny Greenwood noted the British press "weren't impressed".[3] During the recording session for the censored lyrics, Kolderie convinced Yorke to rewrite the first verse, telling him he thought Yorke could do better.[7]

The middle eight originally featured a guitar solo from Jonny Greenwood. When guitarist Ed O'Brien pointed out that the chord progression was the same as "The Air That I Breathe", a 1972 song by the Hollies, Yorke wrote a new middle eight, copying that song's vocal melody. According to Greenwood, "It was funny to us in a way, sort of feeding something like that into [it]. It's a bit of change.
