Background and writing edit

Owen told Billboard magazine that the inspiration for the song was Farrah Fawcett's famous poster from the '70's. "If you listen to the words, it's a double play on the words. We didn't want to give it away. You remember when we were kids, every guy had that poster. That's really what the song is about."[2]
