According to the Fashion Beats Songfacts, Fergie intentionally sang this in a Debbie Harry manner in tribute to the Blondie singer. She explained to Billboard magazine: "She's one of my idols. She was at the cusp of hip-hop, singing with Fab 5 Freddy, but you know she has her rocker roots. I love to pay homage to people in songs because these are the people that helped me become who I am."
