[12] Paul Carr of PopMatters sonically compared the song to those by Black Rebel Motorcycle Club,[10] while ABC News identified The Beatles and T. Rex as possible influences.

[14] In an interview with Paste, Gallagher noted that the song, co-written with Greg Kurstin and Andrew Wyatt, is lyrically a vent against "lots of fucking cunts" written in an intentionally-confident manner.

[1] Gallagher also specified in an interview with GQ that the song's "venomous" lyrics come from "a place of vengeance", taking inspiration from his divorce with Nicole Appleton.

[18] In negative reviews, Laura Snapes of Pitchfork criticized Gallagher's vocal performance as sounding "uncomfortable at higher tempos",[19] while Gareth James of Clash called the song "vacuous filler with only the faintest hint of a chorus".

[11] Martyn Young of Dork commented that the song was "lumpen and severely lacking in a bit of oomph", though noted that it could have been a "punk rock banger" if it were recorded by Oasis during their Definitely Maybe era.
