Album Notes & Community Reviews

Written by Karen O regarding her relationship with Angus Andrew of Liars (the title is an acronym for 'My Angus Please Stay'), this track became the emotional epicenter of the 2000s New York rock revival. The song balances a persistent, driving drumbeat with delicate, chiming guitars. Its iconic music video features Karen O shedding real tears because Andrew was supposedly late to the video shoot before his imminent departure on tour.
