Speaking to Rolling Stone, Karen O said Burton's directive for the track was to come up with "an unconventional, unconditional love song." Her inspiration came by way of "the same era of B movie fright film references sprinkled throughout the film."

Burton's own musical history played a role, too. Says O: "Iwent in the direction of exotica and calypso stylistically because it's quirky, good vibes music of that era and when you throw in a theramin solo it's a marriage made in heaven. I rememberBeetlejuice introducing me to the genius of Harry Belafonte's calypso record so I wanted to give a nod to that, too."
