Vocalist and lyricist Damon Albarn found his inspiration for the song visiting clubs while vacationing in Magaluf on the Spanish island of Majorca. "I just love the whole idea of it, to be honest. I love herds," he has said. "All these blokes and all these girls meeting at the watering hole and then just copulating. There's no morality involved, I'm not saying it should or shouldn't happen."
