Songfacts®:

  • In this song, Voegele hits back at a smarmy pickup. She commented in publicity materials: "It's a fun song that's kind of sexy. It's saying, 'I'm on to you, in case you're an a--hole.' Because so many guys are really good at B.S.-ing you, but I'm always suspicious of anyone that's talking smooth. It takes a lot to convince me that someone's genuine."
