Songfacts®:

  • This sleek, high-energy floor filler finds former Girls Aloud singer Nadine Coyle reuniting with Xenomania, the pop production outfit led by Brian Higgins, who worked on the majority of the girl group's catalogue. Nadine, was acknowledged as having the best voice of the quintet, and it was her who would often demo the songs with Higgins ahead of the other girls during the band's tenure.
  • Lyrically, the song is an ode to making your man work for your affections. Coyle said: "When you're constantly writing you write a lot about relationships and so it was like 'what else annoys you about being in relationships?' and they came up with this idea of writing about them being lazy and not getting up in the mornings."
