Background

Band frontman James Murphy has described the impetus of the song:{{Cite web|url=http://www.forcedexposure.com/artists/lcd.soundsystem.html|title = Forced Exposure}}

{{quote|That's mostly about the 'new rock', which is a movement without the bother of having any meaning. You know a journalistic movement that announces, 'Rock is back! The guitar is back!' Whoo-hoo. But for what? Its like saying, 'The high-waisted pant is back!' Its fucking vacuous and the bands are tedious. They all sound like The MC5. I get excited about The White Stripes 'cos they're some people who are obviously trying to do something of their own. But most bands will never be good because they don't even ask themselves why they're bothering until its too late.}} The song stylistically pays tribute to The Fall, who Murphy has cited as a significant influence, and interpolates a lyric from that band's track "Telephone Thing".{{cite web | url=https://pitchfork.com/features/article/7947-you-were-there-the-complete-lcd-soundsystem/?page=1 | title=You Were There: The Complete LCD Soundsystem | publisher=Pitchfork | accessdate=September 26, 2021}}
