Album Notes & Community Reviews

Opening with one of the most recognizable and heavily grooving basslines of the decade, this track perfectly fuses disco-funk sensibilities with modern psychedelic pop. Lyrically recounting the bitter jealousy of watching a romantic interest choose someone else, the song masks its insecurity behind an undeniably infectious, falsetto-driven dance beat. It achieved colossal streaming success, becoming the definitive crossover hit of Kevin Parker's career.
