"This song is about meeting Tammy for the first time, in a bar, and about my ego. I would go to that bar with Ellen [DeGeneres]; we'd be Sinatra and Dean, and we'd sit there and go, 'We the most famous lesbians.' And Tammy came up and asked me out; she had a certain amount of fame and success, yet she wasn't out. It's about, 'Yeah? You want [bad word] on up to #1? Well, are you ready for the spotlight, because you're going to have [bad word] out.'" - Melissa Etheridge
