Songfacts®:

  • This slice of cheesy electro pop was written by Ronson and The Drums vocalist Jonathan Pierce. It features the vocals of Miike Snow front man Andrew Wyatt and former Pipettes vocalist Rose Elinor Dougall.
  • Unlike Ronson's previous album, Version, Record Collection comprises original material. Dougall told the NME: "I wasn't keen to just sing a cover, but I was always aware Mark wanted to do something different to before."
