Songfacts®:

This track from the debut studio album by English rapper/singer Professor Green, real name Stephen Manderson, is a collaboration with another London rapper, Example.
In the song, Manderson jokes about Katie Price's former husband Peter Andre. He told the Daily Star: "At the end of the first verse I say: 'I'd like to say thanks to Peter Andre for looking after my children,' which could be seen as being a little bit out of order, but I do say sorry at the end of the song."
Manderson told Digital Spy that the Pixie Lott referencing line, "apparently Pixie drinks lots," "was born from me looking out of the car window and seeing her with a white milk moustache with the slogan 'Pixie drinks Lotts'."
