Like a number of songs on Folie à Deux, this track is about the emptiness and superficiality of life in the 21st century. Frontman Patrick Stump explained to MTV News: "Like the chorus says, 'I don't care what you think as long as it's about me.' It's that pop culture thing again, where people don't care about anything but the superficial, and I think there's something so tragic about that. I also thought there was something so ironically anthemic about the chorus, where it's not something you want to sing along to, because it's vacuous and empty. So I wanted something really anthemic underneath it, like something you'd hear at sports games or whatever, because I wanted people to hear it and be confronted with how empty that is. I didn't want anything to be superficial on this record unless the point was to point out superficiality."
This song featured in TV and radio ads for the 2008 teen movie Sex Drive and was used in the film's end credits.
Frontman Patrick Stump told MTV News that the song's music video is, "a little bit of a satire on the rock-and-roll archetypes of being a jerk." Bassist Pete Wentz added: "It's a series of vignettes, and in the end, the joke is: Everyone in the world who is famous is just a WWF character. And some of you are Hulk Hogan, and some of you are the Undertaker, and it's awesome. It's just as great to come out to the boos."
