According to Scarlett, the song was meant to be “super pop, dance music written and performed solely by girls.” She also confessed her love for Grimes, the Bangles and The Go-Go’s, and her aim to produce music like them; something that was a bit ironic, but also a bit comical, while being super pop all the time.
