Composition

"Last Drag" was written by Anton Bass, Sylvia Tosun and Tom Lord-Alge. Musically, it is a pop rock. Its lyrics use smoking as a metaphor for cravings and temptations that lead one down the wrong path. "It is not meant to be an anti smoking thing at all. It was really a metaphor. The lyrics are "You are my last drag." It is about being addicted to something that you love, you have to do it one more time."

Music video

The accompanying music video for "Last Drag" was directed by Zalman King. It is set in a nightclub where Lords is surrounded by her "temptations". "The whole idea of the video is to walk into a den of my temptations and sins. To see them whether it was girls or whatever. It was meant to go together and flirt with that. People have asked me a lot about it because they consider it very bi-curious."
