Despite the slightly risqué title, the song’s first draft was actually about how the band won over a few hardened record executives in the audience at a live showcase.
Lzzy developed the lyrics further with a writing collective called The Girls, explaining: “I was telling them this story [about the show] and one of them — and this is why I love writing with women, because our sense of humor is the same — was like, ‘Oh, so you got off on them enjoying what you do’… and we took over this piano, in the lobby of this hotel, and were singing ‘I get off on you, getting off on me,’ just totally annoying everybody around us.”
