 Among direct influences on the album, Pink cited the Mothers of Invention, the Cure, and Todd Rundgren.The songs "Jell-O," "Plastic Raincoats In The Pig Parade", "Sexual Athletics", "Exile On Frog Street", and "Nude Beach A Go-Go" were co-written by Kim Fowley, from his hospital bed for Pink to perform.The album also features vocal contributions from French singer-songwriter Soko; Pink returned the favor by co-writing and guesting on two tracks off Soko's second studio album, "My Dreams Dictate My Reality" (2015).
