A softer more melodic Texan tune that has vocal Texan audiences literally becoming the songs chorus hook, "they're taking over", as they belt at the top of their lungs in unison as the song peaks into an emotive chorus.

"The song is about not being quite connected to everything around you. About the isolation we can feel, the paranoia, the fear, the madness, the repetition of thought and the beauty of accepting your own personal version of insanity. We're all a little bit crazy in our own way."

Trying to hit that high note when the song was first in the writing stages was quite a challenge. At first the girls weren't sure if Kelly or Sophie would sing the main hook, it was like a game of vocal tennis back and fourth singing, "they're taking over" in all kinds of pitches and voices. Eventually Kelly found this big voice and belted as loud as she could (I think she even surprised herself) and the band settled on the composition as it is now.

"We always loved that moment in Hopelessly Devoted from Grease where you get to sing at the top of your lungs and feel great regardless of how stupid you sound. We're pleased to give everyone a moment to join us in singing at the top of their lungs and feeling a little awesome. But really success to us would be seeing the word Mouses become a socially accepted plural. We know this would get under the skin of a few people and we're cool with that"
