It was released on May 2, 2006 in the US and eventually reached #1 on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart. In the UK, it debuted at #37 on downloads alone, and reached #7 the next week. The title of the track is a play on the title of the movie Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!

The track has been criticized due to the the background music's strong similarity to both Deep Dish's "Flashdance" and Bodyrockers' I Like The Way (You Move)."
