“My Trigger” by Miike Snow

"My Trigger" arrived through Jackalope and Atlantic on 9 September 2016, the third single from iii, the Swedish indie pop band Miike Snow's third studio album. The band wrote and produced it and mixed it with Niklas Flyckt, building it on elements of J Dilla's 2006 track "The Diff'rence", which itself samples Kool & the Gang's 1974 "Fruitman", so the writers behind both share the credit.

Under the glossy electropop is a weekend spent with a stripper, and singer Andrew Wyatt has said it doubles as a comment on America's sex industry. Critics mostly liked the sheen, though some wanted more depth, and it became the band's second Alternative Songs entry, peaking at 37. Ninian Doff's video restaged the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis, with Kennedy and Khrushchev dithering over the nuclear button, and reviewers loved the choreography.
