Mollie King stated that the song is about when you step on the dance floor you turn into a completely different person, which you turn into a bad girl. Una spoke; "Dance music is massive at the moment so it's a dance track, but it also has something unique behind it. It's got this drop-out chorus where it's just the beat and you can only hear our voices - there aren't many tracks like that, so it's a bit different."〔 The band were asked by ''Wonderland'' what they were 'Notorious' for and they replied with "We are notorious for making good music, hopefully." Where Una said she wanted to make live shows notorious.〔 The band began to tease fans with details for the single.

It’s also a lot more R&B than anything we’ve done before, it’s a very cool.
