Content

Chris Murphy has stated that "Coax Me" is "an allegory type song about the difference between being on a major label and playing just for yourself".[3]

The song references the industrial band Consolidated in its lyrics, later stating 'It's not the band I hate / it's their fans'. Murphy clarified this line was not in reference to fans Consolidated but rather, fans of Kate Bush. Sloan co-vocalist Jay Ferguson contributed the line after encountering several classmates who were overzealous in their Kate Bush fandom.[4]
