Joe Talbot, the lead singer of the band, has described the song as a critique of masculinity, as well as a personal exposure to his past behaviour when he was younger and involved in fights and such scenes.

[4] In an interview with Kerrang!, lead singer Joe Talbot discussed how the song focuses on his personal mental health and toxic masculinity.

[5] Writing for the Leamington Courier Peter Omerod compared the song's sound and composition "positioned somewhere between Quentin Crisp, Morrissey and the toilet door of a Wetherspoon's".

[3] Omerod stated that this song, and the band in general is "quite rightly reluctant to be filed under any particular genre: the drums often have a post-punk or motorik intensity; the bass is full, fat and sometimes even funky; the guitars bite and churn; the vocals snarl warmly.

He described the song as a "musical maelstrom aimed to shake up norms, but in the cause of self-growth rather than exhausted rock-and-roll rebellion".

[7] Thomas Gale, writing for The Oxford Times praised the "cathartic noise" of the track's introduction before launching into the recognisable, raucous punk they're known for.
