This disorienting ode to an out-of-control girl was premiered by BBC Radio 1's Zane Lowe. Frontman Ezra Koenig told the DJ: "We worked on it for a long time. We went out to LA to co-produce it with Ariel [Rechtshaid]... It's definitely one of our craziest songs."
The titular vixen's name is presumably a play on words on 'dying young' and possibly also a reference to the Diane Young Anti-Aging Salon on E 79th street in Manhattan.
Koenig explained the song's meaning to NME: "The narrator's voice is critical: 'You're f---ing around doing all this s--t.' But then they have their own doubts: 'I live my life in self-defence. I love the past because I hate suspense.' And that felt very true of a certain type of person - which, sometimes, I think is me – who is ultimately a coward and maybe secretly envious of people who really don't give a f---."
