Lyrically, the song is about a girl who starts out trying to seduce a man on a short-term basis, however, he shows a greater interest and she falls in love with him. The girl is trying to get the man into something much more long-term, but also trying to keep from scaring him off at the same time.
Critical reception
After its premiere in October 2008, some critics expected the song to appear as a B-side, or bonus track, rather than an album track. Aside from being received well by fans, the song received mostly positive reviews from music critics, who favored the track for its 'hillbilly vibe'.{{cite web|url=http://consequenceofsound.net/2009/10/album-review-dragonette-fixin-to-thrill/|title=Album Review: Dragonette - Fixin to Thrill|date=20 October 2009}}
