The track is characterized by Steve Bug’s signature stripped-back, "minimalist" production style that helped define the Berlin underground sound of the era. Electronic, House, Tech House, and Minimal.
Miss Kittin provides her iconic deadpan, "electro-clash" vocal style to the track. The lyrics use drug-related metaphors, personifying an ecstasy pill as a "painkiller". Lyrics Excerpt
