During an interview with an Australian radio station, Tones explains, “I wrote this song [Dance Monkey] about being a busker and realizing that you can definitely tell that people are so entertained now by the click of a button now or a swipe.  And when you’re playing live shows, I can see that, and I think there were a lot of times when I was busking where there were a lot of people in your face, like, ‘More, more! Go again, again, again!'”
