Written by Rodgers, the singer jokingly described the creation of the song as "a five-minute write," hinting that the spontaneous burst of creativity made it easier for him to write and produce.
“So we decided to record it,” he said, as mentioned byUltimate Classic Rock. “A lot of people are surprised to find that I actually played the solo in that – it's a finger exercise. I wanted something that sounded kind of robotic, and Alexis Korner had shown me that exercise years and years ago."
