A post from Beck's official website said that it would be "a song for bonfires, blackouts and the last hurrah of summer".[2] It combines aspects of electronica, experimental rock, and alternative rock.

The post on Beck's website said that the cover art "features Ryan in the knitted Aztec Bird costume, some of you may have seen him dancing in on stage the past few years."
