I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Hm-da-da, hm-da-da, hm-da-da, ooh-oh
Hm-da-da, hm-da-da, hm-da-da, ooh-oh
Baby girl, I want you to keep on puttin' on a show
Hm-da da, ooh-oh
Hm-da da, let's go
Hm-da-da, ooh-oh
Shawty got it jumpin' around and I'm thrown
And we gotta couple of rounds of Nuvo
Everybody lookin' around like uh oh
Okay whatcha say? Let's play
Shake it with a little bit of Beyoncé
Turn around and give it to me, shawty, get paid
Do it for them girls, they be jealous anyway
On stage I wanna be amazed
Pop that, drop that, it's your birthday
Top that, got stacks, work for this stage
Stop that, lock that, work it in place
You the best, shawty don't be scared
Let loose, get a Louis like hers
You the truth, get money, it's yours
Back it up like that, yes sir
Oh-oh baby, want some more baby?
I love the way you do it 'cause you do it so crazy
I'm countin' down so turn around
5, 4, 3, 2, 1
Gotta make that booty go
Hm-da-da, hm-da-da, hm-da-da, ooh-oh
Hm-da-da, hm-da-da, hm-da-da, ooh-oh
Baby girl, I want you to keep on puttin' on a show
Hm-da da, ooh-oh
Hm-da da, let's go
It's your sexy that got me now
Winnin' a bet that can't shut you down
I'm impressed the way you makin' it bounce
Workin' the middle again, makin' it jiggle again
Hello, let's go, just know
I love the way you do it, how you take it to the floor
Show 'em how you do it, like yo ready for the pole
Baby you can do it fifty times in a row
Them rows, get ready for your pose
Lights, camera, action, lose control
Ain't got the practice you's a pro
All types of magic, lose the clothes
Gotta party like this your world
Make your booty go stupid, girl
So hot and I love them curves
Off top shawty mark my words
Oh-oh baby, want some more baby?
I love the way you do it 'cause you do it so crazy
I'm countin' down so turn around

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
