The Song Was Written By Bainbridge Herself And She Claims It Is Not A Sexual Song. She States " Any Sexuality On "Mouth" Was Not Deliberate - It Was Definitely Not A Sexual Song. It's Just Honest - About A Relationship How You Feel In A Relationship. Sometimes You Feel You're In Control And The Next Thing You're Insecure - It's The Role Playing Thing. To Me It's Not About Straight Up Sexuality. It Doesn't Bother Me If People Connect With That Because Obviously It's There But It Wasn't Something I Was Aware Of." Vocals - Merril Bainbridge.
