The song is an attack against superstar DJ culture. Liam Howlett explained that "we did a gig in Ibiza, and I'm not a great fan of the place, but it isn't an attack on the island, it's an attack on these mindless fucking jokers that arrive in their Learjets, pull a USB stick out of their pockets, plug it in and wave their hands in the air to a pre-programmed mix."[1] [2] [3]

The song was released as a limited edition glow-in-the-dark vinyl on Record Store Day 2015.[4]
