Cuomo said about the song:
I was living in an apartment above the Sunset Strip, and every Friday and Saturday night I'd hear people cruising and partying, and hooting and hollering. And I went to sleep one night and I heard those sounds all through the night, in my dreams. I had this dream about a kid on the Metro bus, blasting hip hop into his brain through his headphones. And the music sounded so decadent and overstimulating, and I woke up in the midst of that dream, in a haze, and immediately said to myself, "Man, we're all on drugs!" And I instantly knew that would be a cool song.
In a May 9, 2005 interview with Y100, Cuomo talked about the song: "Don't take it literally…I'm singing more about the fact how addicted we all are to stimulating ourselves, and over-stimulating ourselves with music, or whatever it is in our lives. not necessarily about drugs."
