We talked a lot about what I felt the song needed in order to reach as many young people as possible.

The song is a tongue-in-cheek parody of a moody teenager's thoughts about suicide. The song maintains the New Orleans atmosphere from the opening track of "Honky Chateau", "Honky Cat," with a style that Elizabeth Rosenthal describes as "New Orleans-style jazz." Rosenthal calls the song "an amusing ditty." Author Phillip Norman describes it as "a cheerful little thing," but Allmusic critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine calls it "surprisingly cynical and nasty."

"All About You" (1980) and "Slipping Away" (1989). In his solo career, Richards has often shared co-writing credits with drummer and co-producer, Steve Jordan. Richards has stated, "I've always thought songs written by two people are better than those written by one. You get another angle on it." Richards has frequently expressed that he feels less like a creator than a conduit when writing songs: "I don't have that God aspect about it. I prefer to think of myself as an antenna. There's only one song, and Adam and Eve wrote it; the rest is a variation on a theme."

Speaking about her own compositions Moyet said, "I think some of the songs are personal, but a lot of it is just imagination, I look at other people and put myself in their shoes".

I'm still agonizing over 'Jackamo Road' because I wish I'd said another word. I think it says, 'I'd like to buy you a cabin cruiser/we could sail around.' You don't sail a cabin cruiser.

In an interview with "The Lighthouse Electronic Magazine" in April 1996, he said: You know, the thing I like about Awesome God is that it's one of the worst-written songs that I ever wrote; it's just poorly crafted. But the thing is that sometimes, I think, that when you become too conscientious about being a songwriter, the message becomes a vehicle for the medium. This is a temptation that I think all songwriters have. I think a great songwriter is someone who is able to take a very meaningful piece of wisdom

This time, I made myself think about it — how to fit it into words. The new lyrics took a lot longer than usual, but I'm proud of them." Lightbody credited

I was actually driving to a hot dog stand, and I actually created a melody in my head without being able to hear it on a piano. I sang it to myself; I didn't even sing it out loud in the car.

Growing up, I admired the kind of beautiful glamorous woman—from Brigitte Bardot to Grace Kelly—who doesn't seem to be around much anymore. I think it's time for that kind of glamor to come back.
