I'm really surprised that DK would have this song as a single. To the casual listener, it would just seem like they're singing about being a playful bad girl. However, the lyrics in this song make it seem like they're singing about prostitution.
"When the red light comes on I transform!"
-prostitutes are often called "Red Light girls"
"eyes covered in Maybeline" + "part of your deepest fantasies"
-In the first verse, references are made to how prostitutes wear too much makeup, and how they are willing to do lewd acts for money.
"Some say that love,is all that I’m missing" + "Say I don’t have self-esteem"
-Not being loved and low Self-Esteem are reasons why some speculate that some people become prostitutes.
The rest of the song references prostitution as well, especially the explicit version of Missy's verse.
I could be completely wrong, but this song seems more erotic than meets the eye.
