The song was inspired by a friend of Alex Kapranos who told the Franz Ferdinand singer about an encounter with an older man. He recalled to NME: "When she described it, I could see the embarrassment and rejection he suffered as he realized how she actually saw him, compared to how he thought she saw him."
