The Stones Have Said That The Song Is Written As A Reaction To Their Sudden Popularity After The Success Of "Satisfaction". The Song Deals With Their Aversion To People's Expectations Of Them. “ I Was Sick And Tired Fed Up With This And Decided To Take A Drive Downtown It Was So Very Quiet And Peaceful There Was Nobody Not A Soul Around I Laid Myself Out I Was So Tired And I Started To Dream In The Morning The Parking Tickets Were Just Like A Flag Stuck On My Windscreen ” On The Song Richards Said In 1971 "I Never Dug It As A Record. The Chorus Was A Nice Idea But We Rushed It As The Follow-Up. We Were In L.A. And It Was Time For Another Single. But How Do You Follow-Up "Satisfaction"? Actually What I Wanted Was To Do It Slow Like A Lee Dorsey Thing. We Rocked It Up. I Thought It Was One Of Andrew Loog Oldham's Worst Productions." 2 In A 1995 Interview With Rolling Stone Jagger Said "That Was Keith's Melody And My Lyrics... It's A Stop-Bugging-Me Post-Teenage-Alienation Song. The Grown-Up World Was A Very Ordered Society In The Early '60s And I Was Coming Out Of It. America Was Even More Ordered Than Anywhere Else. I Found It Was A Very Restrictive Society In Thought And Behavior And Dress." 3 In The 2003 Book According To... The Rolling Stones Richards Says "'Get Off Of My Cloud' Was Basically A Response To People Knocking On Our Door Asking Us For The Follow Up To 'Satisfaction'... We Thought 'At Last. We Can Sit Back And Maybe Think About Events.' Suddenly There's The Knock At The Door And Of Course What Came Out Of That Was 'Get Off Of My Cloud'."
