Songfacts®:

  • Melanie C sings here about the materialism, which is prevalent in today's urban societies

    People tripping over mad feet
    Escalating, moving too fast for me
    Don't you ever go slowly?
    You won't ever bring me to my knees


    She explained to The Sun: "It's about how oppressive it is living in a busy city and how we become obsessed with possessions. We all have so much more than previous generations had, yet there's more depression and anxiety in the world."
