The song features TV on the Radio member Dave Sitek on bass, in place of the previous bassists Eric Avery and Duff McKagan.[4] Master Musicians of Joujouka also contribute to the track on rhaita and additional percussion.[5]

The song was compared to the works and the style of the TV on the Radio.[2] The song progresses from Dave Sitek's funk-inspired grooves.[6] It is noted for its "hypnotic tribal rhythm", which was attributed to Master Musicians of Joujouka's involvement, and Dave Navarro's "fuzzed-out" guitar work on the verse riff, which gave an impression of "pulsating."[2][4]

Music video

The music video for the song features animated figures of Perry Farrell, Dave Navarro, and Stephen Perkins performing alongside and painted on a female nude model.[7][8][9] A Todd Newman-directed video, which depicts the band members and Dave Sitek during the recording session of the song, was also released on April 8, 2011.[10]
