Héloïse Letissier is a French singer who performs under the name Christine and the Queens. She visited London after a breakup, where she was inspired by a trio of drag queen musicians. They convinced Héloïse to channel all her uncertainty into music and accompanied her in one of her early concerts. Those drag queens are "the Queens" in her stage name, though she now performs solo.
This gently pulsating track was the first song to be released from Christine and the Queens' introductory US EP, Saint Claude. She explained the song title to Genius: "The whole song is built around this very image of being tilted. I chose this word because it's ambivalent : am I talking about falling? About being twisted? Is it playful or dangerous? I guess I like you to inhabit the song with your own mood, so I kept it deliberately open. I also love that the word implies a move – Christine is a dancer, so she performs the song literaly trying to keep her balance."
The song topped the Belgian singles chart (both Flanders and Wallonia) and peaked at #3 in France. It was also ranked by Time magazine's as the second best song of 2015.
