According to Rivers Cuomo in 2017:

This one’s so fun to play live. This album has a couple as a couple songs – I’m thinking this song and also ‘Happy Hour’ – where the groove of the song is unlike anything I’ve played before onstage. I never thought about it, but that makes a big difference onstage when suddenly your body is moving in ways that it’s never moved before, and it’s a real breath of fresh air for someone who’s been performing since 1984. I haven’t analyzed it, I know exactly what’s different about where the kick and snare are going, and I didn’t notice it until we started rehearsing and that’s after we recorded it and it’s on the radio. Then we go to rehearse and really get it down as a live song, and I just start dancing and moving my body in ways it’s never moved before! It’s fun.
