The song features elements of Neil Diamond's 1967 Girl, You'll Be a Woman Soon, namely the chord structure and sections of vocal melody. ^[2]

Released as a single on Halloween, Allen dressed for the holiday as Madeline of the eponymous children's media series, following jokes comparing the character and the song's subject.
