This sweeping epic is a cover of an unreleased track from Muse. The British prog rock/eletronica three-piece are one of Lambert's favorite bands.
Lambert told Rolling Stone that this is one of three songs on For Your Entertainment "that are really emotional, a little bit slower, softer." He added: "'Soaked' opens up with a real soft vocal, it's very tender, the lyrics are very vulnerable, then it goes into a soaring ballad-type feel. That was another example - we got the song from Muse, and I was s---ting myself, I couldn't believe it, I thought, 'This is incredible, I can't believe they're giving me a song.' I'm a huge fan, and it, too, like the rest of the three that I'm talking about, have this real retro feel to it, melodically and even in the style of the production, very Seventies, at times very Sixties, almost like a Shirley Bassey song mixed with a Queen record."
Lambert told Billboard magazine this song is about a one-night stand.
