The song was written by band members Luke Spiller and Adam Slack with producers Lauren Christy and John Levine.

Background



Lead singer, Luke Spiller discussed the background of the song in an interview on the Elvis Duran Show: "[Kesha] is a real rock and roller at heart really. When you talk to her about her music and stuff, she loves the Stones. She loves a lot of great British bands. So I think we naturally connected and she heard the song and that was it really."

Kesha also talked about the Struts and the song in a statement to 'Rolling Stone'."They are one of my favorite current bands keeping the spirit of classic rock and roll alive with their wild energy and sexy style. Its a song about my favorite activity: boogieing."

The music video for the Kesha duet was released on 28 August 2018.
