Songfacts®:

  • The title track of Skrillex' debut album is about partying and not caring about anything. It features pumped up exhortations from Fatman Scoop, whilst Passion Pit frontman Michael Angelakos supplied ethereal falsetto vocals for the hook. Frequent collaborator Kill The Noise (Jake Stanczak) co-produced the track. Skrillex told NME: "With that line-up, none of it should make any sense, but I pulled it off. It's also laid-back, too. It funks out."
