With lyrics by lead singer Brandon Flowers, the song is a look inside the mind of a young man laden with testosterone and libido. "We were going out to clubs a lot at the time," he told Entertainment Weekly. "It speaks to a young man's frustration, the difficulty of picking up girls."
Flowers recalled to NME in 2013: "I was 20, 21, and just trying to write about what I was doing and seeing in these indie nightclubs in Vegas. I was listening to Pulp and David Bowie, trying to channel all of that stuff." "It's one of Mark (Stoermer)'s greatest moments on the bass, too," he added. "It's a really great collaboration."
