In a statement "Don't Press Me" is described as being "about the pleasure of gaming and the enjoyment of intense and short-lived guilt-free experiences." Vocalist Florence Shaw says, "The words in the chorus came about because I was trying to write a song to sing to my own brain, “You are always fighting me / You are always stressing me out'."
