Songfacts®:

  • This is the second single from Beirut-born London based pop singer-songwriter Mika's second album, The Boy Who Knew Too Much.
  • Mika told Q magazine June 2009 about this song with Cuban pianos and a swaggering hip-hop production: "This sounds like No Doubt." He added: "It's about a wealthy, handsome boy who has everything, yet pretends to be miserable."
  • Mika commented to The Daily Mail September 4, 2009 about this song: "When you're a teenager, you blame things on everyone. Bill Gates said only losers blame their parents. By that reckoning, I'm a loser."
