The overtly sexual content of the song may be a reason why it did not chart highly as a single, as opposed to many of their other tongue-in-cheek songs like "Song for Whoever" and "Don't Marry Her". The song was one of the catalysts for Briana Corrigan leaving as she thought it painted glamour models, especially Page 3 girls, in a bad light when the media who put them there should be blamed instead.[1]
