Anderson said "'Blackout' came from a conversation we were having about boys... hot boys! It is about a desperate desire and wanting something so badly and so passionately, you just have to have it now! The 'blackout' is that intense secret moment between you and that person, and nothing else matters." [2]

The song has been sampled a number of times, most notably in the Karol G hit "Mi Cama", which reached the top 5 on the Spanish Promusicae charts.
