  • This smutty slice of disco-funk represents a change of pace for Nickelback. "Up 'til now we've always just tried to be heavier with the rock songs and more melodic with the melodic songs, and now it's, 'OK, not everything has to be left and right. Why can't we go forward and back a little bit?'" frontman Chad Kroeger explained to Billboard magazine. "So we tried to get a little funky."
  • The song went viral on TikTok in 2022. It accompanies videos that show women standing around in frumpy clothing. Just as the chorus kicks in with "Funky little monkey, she's a twisted trickster," they flip their hair to reveal funkier outfits.
