The story behind the song

This song was a significant departure for Muse, with its blend of alternative rock, dance-rock, and funk elements. The band aimed to mix R&B rhythms with alternative guitar, drawing inspiration from various influences including Prince and Kanye West, and incorporating a distinct dance-type beat. The track was deliberately crafted to be different, slow, and quite funky, a sound the lead singer developed after experiencing New York clubs. It represents an exploration into a more electronic and pop-infused sound for the band, a direction showcased on their 2006 album, Black Holes and Revelations. Playing it feels like stepping into a groove that's both familiar and uniquely stylized.
