Florence + the Machine is the recording name of former Camberwell Art School student Florence Welch and her backing band. She left Camberwell after a year and a half to pursue her professional music career. This sexually charged number was written when Welch was hanging out with art college dropouts. She told The Sunday Times: "It's about giving as good as you get."
This was Florence + the Machine's debut single.
Despite the lyrics appearing to be about a feuding couple smashing plates over each other's heads and setting fire to the bed, Welch denied this is a song about domestic violence. She told The Independent June 27, 2009: "It's just a silly rhyme I thought up when I was 18!"
