Songfacts®:

  • This song is based on characters that Circa Waves frontman Kieran Shudall saw during the band US tour, whom he felt belonged in songs.
  • Shudall woke up in the middle of the night with the chorus going round his head. He told NME: "It's a Circa Waves verse that goes into a hip-hop chorus, with an Arctic Monkeys guitar line to it. Then it's got an orchestral ending; it crescendos upwards and is very different to anything we've done."
  • Self-directed by Shudall and guitarist Joe Falconer, the video was shot in and around Los Angeles, showing "all the glitz, glamour and true grit of Hollywood life."
