La letra hace alusión a la famosa muñeca plástica y podríamos pensar que se refiere a las chicas que viven en un mundo ficticio.
En realidad la letra es todo lo contrario, es bastante oscura, solo que no nos damos cuenta porque está muy acaramelada. La canción se refiere a otro tipo de chicas. Solo presta más atención a frases como " Undress me anywhere" o "I can bend on my knees."
