Critical reception

Overall, the song received mostly positive reviews. Jonathan Keefe of Slant magazine noted and complimented the song's complicated D/S dynamics, matched against a sugary, playful melody.[1] Heather Pheres of allmusic compared the song to previous works of Gwen Stefani, and new age rock band The Killers.

Music video

The music video for the track was directed by Ben Taylor, and premiered on Dragonette's official YouTube channel on June 26, 2007.[2] Dragonette described the video as "very saucy".[3] The video is made to look like the set of a porno from the 1970s.
