Gasoline

Songwriters use the word "gasoline" to describe girls who want to party and live life to the full. Often it is used in a sexual context, and here the Haim sisters want the gas to rev their engines and make them go faster. You say you wanna go slower but I wanna go faster Faster and faster Alana Haim recalled to Apple Music: "I think there were parts of that song where we were feeling sexy. I remember I had gone to go get food, and when I came back Danielle had written the bridge. She was like, 'Look what I wrote!' And I was like, 'Oh! Okay!'"

The Haim sisters wrote the song with their regular collaborator Rostam Batmanglij, formerly of Vampire Weekend. She recalled: "The song was a lot slower originally, and then we put that breakbeat-y drumbeat on it and all of a sudden it turned into a funky sort of thing, and it really brought the song to life."

Rostam also played the synthesizer, mellotron and acoustic guitar.
