The song was inspired by band – Isaac Holman and Laurie Vincent – almost getting hit by an out-of-control e-scooter as they stepped out of album sessions at The Libertines’ Albion Rooms studio in Margate.

“The whole walk back to the studio, we were discussing our contempt for e-scooter drivers. They should be illegal. They shouldn’t be on the road. They should need a theory test. It was just a rich well to discuss, and the song’s about that.”
