"My Boots" was supposed to be included in Lights' second studio album Siberia, but was later cut out from the final track listing.

She had to drop everything and frolic outside with a dog and she got so excited about that experience that she walked back inside and wrote a song about it.

"[3]"My Boots" has generally received positive reviews from critics.

NeonLimelight.com stated that the song will make you want to "...strap on your dancing boots and hit the snow-covered streets to go out and dance on this one", complementing on the song's lyrics and the "...twinkling synth beat".

[4] The Daily Beat gave the song five stars, praising Lights for the synthy, "dance inflicted soon-to-be hit", calling the song her "...best offering yet".
