Background

In a 1997 interview with Billboard , singer Jill Cunniff explained that the song is about being emotionally naked, or honest, rather than naked as in without clothing. [3]

Music video

The song's music video was inspired by the 1977 Luis Buñuel film That Obscure Object of Desire , which featured two actresses playing the same role. [4] All four of the band's then members (Cunniff, Gabrielle Glaser, Kate Schellenbach and Vivian Trimble) portray the same character, a woman escorting her boyfriend, played by Max Perlich, to a departing aircraft. The character arrives in a Citroen CX car. [5] Though the video is made to look like it takes place at an airport, it was filmed at New York's World Trade Center. [4] The music video made its MTV debut on November 17, 1996. [6]
