About the song, Roan said, "I needed a campy gay girl song that captured the magic of having feelings for another girl. I packed the song with fun raunchy lyrics that make it feel like a night out flirting with the girl across the bar."[2][3]
In an interview with Australian radio station Joy 94.9, Roan said the song took three years to complete and called it "the ultimate silly pop".[4]
