The lead single from Tame Impala's third album, Currents, and the second song released, following "Let It Happen," this finds a vulnerable Kevin Parker taking shots at his own masculinity after a loss of control. Cause I'm a man, woman Not often proud of what I choose I'm a human, woman A greater force I answer to According to the press release, this song and "Let It Happen" were "sketched out in planes, cars, hotels and homes" by Parker following the completion of Tame Impala's previous album Lonerism in 2012.
Tame Impala played this song for the first time live during their gig on April 8, 2015 at the Fox Theatre in Pomona, California.
Kevin Parker explained the song's meaning. "Lyrically I'm not usually that out there and straight up saying things, but it's meant to be really tongue-in-cheek at the same time," he said. "The song is about how weak men are, basically, and how we make all these excuses but really we're just these odorous male members of the animal kingdom."
