It is the tenth track on their 1987 album <i><a href="/wiki/The_Joshua_Tree" title="The Joshua Tree">The Joshua Tree</a></i>. "Exit" was developed from a lengthy <a href="/wiki/Jam_session" title="Jam session">jam</a> that was recorded in a single take and edited down to a shorter arrangement. The lyrics, which portray the mind of a <a href="/wiki/Serial_killer" title="Serial killer">serial killer</a>, were inspired by lead singer <a href="/wiki/Bono" title="Bono">Bono</a>'s reading of <a href="/wiki/Norman_Mailer" title="Norman Mailer">Norman Mailer</a>'s 1980 novel <i><a href="/wiki/The_Executioner%27s_Song" title="The Executioner's Song">The Executioner's Song</a></i>, and other related works. </p><p>In his trial for the murder of <a href="/wiki/Rebecca_Schaeffer" title="Rebecca Schaeffer">Rebecca Schaeffer</a> in 1989, <a href="/wiki/Robert_John_Bardo" title="Robert John Bardo">Robert John Bardo</a> used "Exit" as part of his defence, claiming that the song had influenced his actions. </p><p>"Exit" was performed during U2's <a href="/wiki/The_Joshua_Tree_Tour" title="The Joshua Tree Tour">Joshua Tree Tour</a> in 1987 and returned to their live set in 2017 as part of their <a href="/wiki/The_Joshua_Tree_Tour_2017" class="mw-redirect" title="The Joshua Tree Tour 2017">30th anniversary tour for <i>The Joshua Tree</i></a>.
