Music and composition
Brooke Candy during the Track by Track for Billboard:

“Boys Noize reached out to see if I wanted to collaborate, and I was like, "You’re f--king Boys Noize, yes." So he sent me this awesome beat. Around that same time, this girl Axle invited me to an all-female biker convention she throws every year in the forest of Bend, Oregon. She told me that “My Sex” had become their anthem, and that I was welcome any time, that I could stay in her cabin and party with them whenever. They all ride up on their motorcycles and dance naked together and take jello shots and get totally wasted… so of course I was like, "I’m in."

The entire time I was there, I was thinking to myself, "What the f--k kind of song can I make now that these chicks would listen to on their journey? What lyrical content would they vibe with?" So it took on that tone, like when I sing “Motorcycle bitch click / takin' names and sucking d--k.” Once I finished it, I sent it back to Boys Noize, who thought it needed something extra. And like three seconds later, I get a text from him of him and Rico in the studio recording her verse! I think she breaks up my cadence perfectly and she takes it to a place where it gets really punchy, she’s immensely talented. To me, “FMU” is the most feminist song on the album, the most female-empowered.”
