==Song meaning==
The songs lyrics "change my pitch up / smack my bitch up" are sampled from Ultramagnetic MCs song Give The Drummer Some. The band have said this song is about vigor and intensity.
==Controversy==
The song's name and lyrical content caused outrage from various feminist groups. BBC 1 Radio refused to played the song and only aired an instrumental version on their chart rundown show. A music video for the song was made, furthering the controversy. The video showcased drunk driving, drug abuse, nudity/sex, vandalism and acts of violence. MTV originally only aired the video on their 120 Minutes show but later banned the video, though the video still won two MTV Video Music Awards.
