Perry told Rolling Stone magazine that this lament about a guy who's too sober and serious referred to a boyfriend. She explained: "Some people think it's a dis when I sing, 'You're not a man, you're a mannequin,' but it's not. Writing 'Mannequin' actually fixed some things in the relationship. It was my way of saying, 'I love you so much. Wake. The. F--k. Up. I want you to be in my life. Oh, and please stop wearing my jeans.'"
