Writing and recording [edit]
Soon after Marker Foster formed Foster the People in 2009, he wrote and recorded "Pumped Up Kicks" in five hours while working equally a commercial jingle writer at Mophonics in Los Angeles.[three] [4] On the day of recording, Foster debated betwixt songwriting in the studio and going to the embankment. He explained: "I really didn't have anything to do that 24-hour interval. I was standing in that location in the studio, and this thought came in my mind like, 'I'm going to write a vocal,'... and then I was like, 'I don't experience like writing. I don't want to write a song.' I was a block abroad from the beach, and it was a beautiful day. I kind of merely wanted to just be lazy and become hang out at the beach or any. Simply I just forced myself to write a vocal... Past that time the next day, the song was finished."[five]
Reflecting on the lack of inspiration he felt when writing the song, Foster said, "I've heard a lot of other artists talk nearly this too, like, 'I'm not inspired right at present. I've got writer'south block. I'm but non really feeling anything.' And I've felt that way, too, only not beingness inspired and wanting to await for inspiration to come before I wrote. But I wasn't inspired when I wrote 'Pumped Up Kicks,' and that'south what came out. And so... information technology just solidified the notion that perspiration is more powerful than inspiration."[5] Thinking that he was just recording a demo, he played all of the instruments on the song,[6] and using the software Logic Pro, he arranged and edited the song himself.[7] The demo is ultimately the version of the vocal that Foster released.[6]
Composition and inspiration [edit]
I like to write nearly real-life topics, and I like to write about different walks of life. For me, that song was really an ascertainment near something that's happening in the youth culture these days. I approximate I wanted to reveal that internal dialogue of a child who doesn't take anywhere to turn, and I recollect the song has kind of done its job. I think people are talking about it, and information technology's go a point of conversation, which I call back is a really good for you thing.
—Mark Foster[8]
The lyrics to "Pumped Up Kicks" are written from the perspective of a troubled and delusional youth with homicidal thoughts.[half dozen] The lines in the chorus warn potential victims to "outrun my gun" and that they "better run, better run, faster than my bullet." Foster said in a statement to CNN Amusement, "I wrote 'Pumped Upward Kicks' when I began to read virtually the growing trend in teenage mental illness. I wanted to empathize the psychology behind it because it was strange to me. It was terrifying how mental illness among youth had skyrocketed in the last decade. I was scared to see where the design was headed if we didn't kickoff changing the mode we were bringing upward the next generation."[9] In writing the vocal, Foster wanted to "get inside the head of an isolated, psychotic kid"[six] and "bring sensation" to the issue of gun violence amid youth, which he feels is an epidemic perpetuated by "lack of family, lack of dear, and isolation."[10] [11] The song's title refers to shoes that the narrator'south peers vesture every bit a status symbol.[12] [thirteen]
The effect of youth violence is a thing close to the group. Foster was bullied in high school, while bassist Cubbie Fink has a cousin who survived the Columbine High School massacre in 1999. Fink said of his cousin's feel, "She was actually in the library when everything went down, so I actually flew out to be with her the twenty-four hour period after it happened and experienced the trauma surrounding information technology and saw how affected she was past it. She is as close every bit a sister, so obviously, it affected me deeply. So to be able to accept a vocal to create a platform to talk almost this stuff has been skillful for usa."[viii]
Contrasting with the dark lyrics of the song, the music, which was written first, is upbeat. Foster said, "It's a 'fuck y'all' vocal to the hipsters in a way—but it'southward a vocal the hipsters are going to want to dance to."[six] Jeffery Berg of Frontier Psychiatrist said, "I was so engrossed with the cheery tune of its chorus that it took me a few listens to discover that the lyrics suggest night, Columbine revenge."[14]
Due to the opening lyrics, "Robert'southward got a quick hand," many have speculated that the vocal is a reference to Robert Hawkins, perpetrator of Omaha'south Westroads Mall shooting. The band's publicist denied any connection: "This is completely false. The graphic symbol name in the song is merely a coincidence."[fifteen] For play on the television channels MTV and CheddarU (then MTVu), the words "gun" and "bullet" were removed from the song's chorus.[16] Many accept written letters to Foster's record label and called radio stations to complain that the song was glorifying school shootings. He explained, "The song is not nearly condoning violence at all. It's the complete contrary. The song is an amazing platform to have a conversation with your kids most something that shouldn't be ignored, to talk about it in a loving way."[4]
