Songfacts®:

  • Adam penned this spiky song about the model Kate Moss with his longtime songwriting partner Marco Pirroni. He explained to The Sun: "I saw Kate at a Vivienne Westwood show in Paris and wanted to write something about the fashion industry in general and people's approach to the fact that it is an illusion."

    "It is escapism," he added, "and the fact that Kate rarely talks, does interviews or anything adds to her iconic nature."
