Songfacts®:

  • This hard-hitting techno track opens Swedish electro-pop singer-songwriter Robyn's fifth album, Body Talk Pt. 1. She told Billboard magazine the song isn't aimed at the media or others in the music industry. Rather, its target is closer to home. "I wrote that song after being on tour for a long time," Robyn explained. "It's directed at myself, for putting too much work on me. I brought it on myself."
