Release history and live performance

The song was written by Francis Rossi and Bob Young in the soon-to-be trademark shuffle style the group would become famous for. The lyrics reverse gender stereotypes: the guy complains about a girl who's just out for a good time and a few laughs, not being serious about a relationship and messing around.
The song became a live favourite, and frequently got audiences bouncing around at gigs. It was included on several compilation albums, such as XS All Areas – The Greatest Hits and Accept No Substitute! The Definitive Hits.
