Ad ispirare a Ronald Bell, il bassista del gruppo, il testo del brano fu un versetto del Corano, segnatamente quello in cui si parla della creazione di Adamo ad opera di Dio.[3]

Il cantante del gruppo racconta che sua madre gli predisse il successo del brano, dicendogli che lo avrebbe cantato per tutto il resto della sua vita.[3]

Testo

«Celebrate good times, come on!»
