O'Connor's new single represents the continuation of her longtime penchant for reggae music, as she plans to collaborate with McGregor to produce additional reggae tracks with her during 2012, McGregor said. The single tells the story of a woman's desire to speak freely about her lovemaking needs, and to openly celebrate the pleasures of the physical.
"The song is about how it is generally considered unseemly for women to express their desire for adult, consensual, respectful, and healthy sex, and how sex generally is a difficult subject for us all to discuss — yet underneath it all, we all want it, ideally with 'Mr or Mrs Right,' but there's nothing wrong with loving 'Mr or Mrs Wrong' while you're waiting," said O'Connor.
When asked her own feelings about love, O'Connor confirms her belief that physical lovemaking represents a consecrated, spiritual union deeply and naturally connected to the human experience.
"My own feelings about sex are simply that sex — depending entirely on who you're doing it with — can be a very strong connection to whatever you want to call 'God', but only if it really is with someone you love," O'Connor said. "How do you know if you love? You just know. Love doesn't mean stay forever necessarily, it just means love. It ain't just ants in your pants."
