Janovitz called it "the definitive take" of the song. AllMusic writer Bill Janovitz credited producer Steve Lillywhite for finding "the ideal sound for the band, with a perfect blend of classic pop, punk, and art rock elements".

It makes her feel empowered somehow and popular, and in fact, the people that she's sleeping with are laughing about her behind her back and talking about her," said Butler. Death by Rock and Roll is the fourth studio album by American rock band the Pretty Reckless, released on February 12, 2021. "The song is about a girl who sleeps around a lot and thinks that she's popular because of it. However, the Caroline mentioned in the lyrics is a made-up name, and the girls are not high-school age, despite the film that was named after it causing some people to think so. One was a friend of his ex-girlfriend, and the other went to a pub he frequented. Lead singer Richard Butler said "Pretty in Pink" is about two women he knew while living in Muswell Hill in north London. The 1986 film was named after the song and a re-recorded version of the song was included on its soundtrack. " Pretty in Pink" is a song by the English band the Psychedelic Furs, originally released in 1981 as a single from the band's second album, Talk Talk Talk.
