Songfacts®:

  • The title of this Recess opening track demonstrates that Skrillex doesn't take his 'brostep' reputation too seriously. He told NME: "I didn't think so many people would take [the title] so literally and not get that it's totally tongue-in-cheek. It's more of a statement that I don't care – you can take it any way you want. Haters will use that [song] name and do what they want with it. But other people will get the humor. The idea was just to open the record with something super in-your-face. It's a wake-up call."
