Biographer Anna Louise Golden described the song as "ruthlessly fast metal" with electronic accents from DJ Lethal. The song's musical style blended British-style hard rock and heavy metal with American rockabilly elements. Golden said the song was "too heavy and fast" to be a bigger chart hit at the time.[2]
