Premise

The song was written by lead singer Travis McCoy during his year-long relationship with Katy Perry, to describe the temptations a man in a relationship is offered, using the idea of various types of cookie in a reachable jar as an analogy. Guitarist Disashi Lumumba-Kasongo described the song as being based:

"on the kind of dilemma that many guys have, like, they find a girl and then they're like, 'Oh, but I can have this one; it would be so much better.' Then they go to the other girl and they’re like, 'No. ... but I think this would be better.' The lyrics are based on the dilemma of trying to find the girl that makes you feel happy and having trouble with that."[1]
