For me, it had the same sort of emotional resonance that a New Order track would. It became a song of empowerment for me. My career’s gone a few weird places over the last few years. ‘I came for your money and I came for your girlfriend… I’m taking both and I’m leaving. While I do it, I’m going to do it with panache and I’m gonna be a boy’ – that’s what the song’s about.
