The Ting Tings are Katie White (guitar, vocals) and Jules De Martino (drums, vocals). Katie White told the Independent newspaper February 29, 2008 about this song, which is about clubbing in the Manchester area where she grew up: "It's a frustration song again, about alleviating the boredom." She added that it was about a venue they went to where they "danced a lot, during a stressful period of time."
This was originally released in 2007 as a double A-sided single with the song "That's Not My Name" by the independent record label Swirchflicker. It then became the duo's first major release after signing with Columbia Records.
The video is reminiscent of the promo for "Road To Nowhere" by Talking Heads. White told the Independent: "I saw Tina Weymouth and I found her inspiring because she's feminine, but not bimbo-y." De Martino added: "Then we found out Toni Basil did the choreography for it, and Katie was saying to everyone, 'Can we get her to do the video? It would be fantastic!' In the end, we had this choreographer who was a nightmare so the director told us to come up with something, which we did."
