Tetel says "Clean Cut is a Shaft soundtrack inspired tune sung from what seems like a femme fatale perspective. SPOILER ALERT, it’s really about my 14-year-old diabetic cat who was in a bad place and in need of reassuring."
She continued "It's the cutest story. My oldest cat got sick almost three years ago. It was sudden and he had to stay in the hospital for a week, and he came back much weaker and thinner. I thought, I’m going to write a song that reverses the roles and it turned into as if she were a femme fatal. I wanted words and phrases that were related to feline animals, but I still used the word mutt. He’s a tiny cat but he sees himself like more than he is, like a ferocious panther."
