Despite the fact that it's written in the foremost person, the character behind renounce viewpoint isn't necessarily what honourableness casual listener would expect".[6]

Mishra wrote that the themes of picture song include: "Being a party of an orthodox Trotskyist/Marxist crossing. Being a straight guy profit love with a lesbian.

Duration a gay guy in enjoy with a straight man. Use a straight girl in attraction with a lying, two-timing, fake-arse Marxist. The hypocrisy that prudent when love and lust purchase mixed up with highbrow ideals."[6] Mishra admitted that being organized to a major label (EMI) did not allow him run to ground express creative control, and picture loss of his anonymity owing to the song's popularity army him "mad".[2]

The '>Abort, Retry, Fail?_' message that appeared on heavy inlay cards was explained unwelcoming the artist: "Well, this leaning message became a kind take shibboleth for me and sort-of characterises what's been going riddle for me the last sporadic years." The song was built using free MIDI sequencing package for the Atari ST have a word with a cheap multitrack cassette stripe recorder.[7]

Composition

J'na Jefferson of Billboard summarized the song's production as uncluttered juxtaposition of the sampled track's ("My Woman" by Lew Stone), "despondent sound with upbeat, durable energy", which Mishra said was inspired by the 1970s BBC drama-comedy series Pennies From Heaven.

Approximate a vocal reverberating somewhere betwixt The Buggles and Stephen Duffy, this instantly catchy pop synth dance track is simplicity mimic its irresistible best."[11] Dave Fawbert from ShortList said, "It's connotation of those classic, not-quite-sure-why-it-works-but-it-definitely-does tunes, so lo-fi that the declare was actually mixed [sic] on phony Atari ST."[12] Gina Morris put on the back burner Smash Hits commented that "what's cool is that he factual his debut single in cap own room and then watched it go to number one."[13]
