We were at Coachella, and I had just performed. I was wearing this see-through top that looked like a disco ball exploded all over my boobs. I got offstage, and my boyfriend, he just turns around and goes, "Hey disco tits, let's go." And I was like, "Wow, that's me."

Tom Breihan ofStereogum praised the song's "sexy-deadpan delivery and its chilly throb."[12] Hilary Hughes ofMTV wrote that the song "is a banger to blast as you're getting hyped for a night out, and an anthem to keep you on the dance floor once you get there all rolled up in a single song." She additionally wrote that "it's definitely not for the faint of heart."[13] Mike Wass ofIdolator wrote that the song "retreats to the druggydance-pop ofQueen of the Clouds."[2] David Sikorski ofEar Milk called the song "a sweat dripping retro club banger that we just can't get enough of."[9] Media siteUproxx described the song as "a disco-inspired take on a modern club banger that has someRobyn vibes."[7]

The song's music video, directed byTim Erem, premiered on 5 October 2017, via Lo'sVevo channel. The video begins with Tove Lo on a family-friendly talk show with a puppet. When being asked to describe the name "Lady Wood" she says a banned word. She then flirts with the puppet and invites him on a raunchy road trip filled with drugs and sex. The video was described by media as "titillating" and "riotous". Chris Malone Méndez ofBillboard analyzed the music video by saying "while she [Lo] and the Muppet engage in foreplay, a handsome Swedish-looking man begins to take the place of the Muppet, presumably as a metaphor for her escapades (and sexcapades) with human men".[17][18] As of 9 October 2022, the clip has over 13,000,000 views on YouTube.
