Songfacts®:

• This song focuses on the movie star Marilyn Monroe as Bat For Lashes, aka Natasha Khan, sings of her own personal transformation. She goes on to ask the actress to let her borrow some of her allure, as she asks her to "put your star in me."
• The American Alternative Rock singer-songwriter Beck plays guitar and synthesizers on this track. Khan told Mojo magazine Mojo about working with the "Loser" artist: "We'd already worked together (co-writing the song 'Let's Get Lost' for the soundtrack to the Twilight Saga Eclipse) and I'd really enjoyed it. He's a lovely creative soul and he owns so many instruments. He was a sounding board. I stayed with him and his family in his beautiful (Malibu, California) house on the edge of a cliff; we had dinner together, talked and watched films. He'd project old Ingmar Bergman movies silently on the walls while we were playing."
• Other artists who have written about Marilyn Monroe include Elton John, Nicki Minaj, Lady Gaga and Def Leppard.
