The single was recorded to coincide with her "Save the Hoodie" campaign.[3] Lady Sovereign wrote the single as she was angry that individuals wearing hoodies were being persecuted against due to people stating that they created social fear.[4] Lady Sovereign stated at the time, "I'm all about standing up for the hoodie. They wanna have a moan about people that wear them, but I wear them all the time and I don't like the way some other people dress".[5]

Lady Sovereign references the Three stripes trademark of Adidas in the song.[6]

The song had been featured on a Mario Party DS advertisement in 2007.

gollark: For redstone, yes.
gollark: Labelnet could do 600B/s, though, it's way better than 20B/s from Bundlenet.
gollark: I got the basic stuff worked out ages ago, primarily just the 256→187 encoding, but I never figured out how exactly it ought to work for actual use.
