When asked about the inspiration behind "Orally Fixated" in an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Murphy said:
Well, I was orally fixated during my pregnancy. I had to give up smoking and I was just fixated on what I could put into my mouth instead. So the oral fixation was certainly in my mind, though not for sexual reasons. So that's it really. And of course it's a pop song so you more or less always find a slightly sexual slant on the ideas that are in your brain, because you're writing a pop song. They're kind of sexy. I didn't have the sexual double entendre in my mind. I didn't expect it to be perceived quite as sexually as it has been. I'm actually a bit shy about all that. It surprises me that I wrote a song like that, you know?[3]
