The title track of Two Door Cinema Club's third album finds frontman Alex Trimble attacking the false pop charade as he declares: "I'm made of plasticine, I'm a Pinocchio." The TDCC vocalist explained to The Guardian why he felt he wasn't being true to himself. "I felt like I was taking far too much advice from other people that didn't really work for me, because it was expected," he said. "Whether that was showing up for a TV show I didn't want to go on or wearing some clothes I didn't want to wear. I let myself be moulded and it took me out of who I was."
Asked by HMV.com why they titled the album after this song, guitarist Sam Halliday replied: "We could all relate to 'Gameshow' and how being in a band can feel like being on a Gameshow. People want a lot more from you now, whether that's answering stupid questions in interviews or dressing a certain way, it's like being in a Gameshow to further your career."
