we play until somebody gets it i guess

The song's lyrics refer to the attraction exerted by a person possessing strong sex appeal. They fascinate the singer and arouse his curiosity, even though he is not sure whether he needs them at all.

crazy town "butterfly" (jk but it popped into my head b/c of the 'you got sex appeal' line + it appeared recently in the stereogum column)

Hint: the Wiki quote is basically a tortured paraphrase of one line from the chorus

According to the sheet music published at Musicnotes.com by Universal Music Publishing Group, the song is composed in the key of F minor with a time signature in common time, and a moderate groove of 90 beats per minute. REDACTED's vocal range is spread between F4 and D♭5.[10] The composition is built on two main live instruments; piano and electric guitar.[10] The first verse has REDACTED "whisper their desires and then blow up the chorus with enough teen confusion and angst to fill up a week of Hollyoaks."[11] Lyrically, the song discusses difficulty in teenagers allowing to express their sexuality. REDACTED commented "We're singing about love [...] Even all over the world teenagers, can find themselves in our song(s) 'cause we're singing about these problems, we're singing about teenagers, and I think everybody can understand that".[12]

I know this one, but I also have a keen eye for the shoddy way a lot of 21c pop songs are written about on Wikipedia. There's a few articles I improved at different points only for members of a certain band of wikipedians to come in and do their "this song is a dance-pop[10], electronic[11] and house[14] song that also contains elements of club music[15]"-type makeover.
