"Puss 'N Boots" comes off Strip, Adam Ant's 1983 album, and it keeps his swagger while sanding the edges toward sleek pop. Phil Collins produced it with Hugh Padgham as co-producer, and Collins also sits in on drums alongside Richard James Burgess, which gives the track a punchy, booming floor. Adam wrote it with guitarist Marco Pirroni, sings lead and plays the bass himself, while Pirroni's guitar struts over the top.
