The song has an up-tempo indie rock sound with electric guitar, bass and drums. The video shows the band performing live with dark lighting and fast cuts between the lead singer and the tempting girl he wants to be with.

3. The song focuses on the lead singer wanting this girl to stop playing around with other men and come closer to him, but has to find out what he has to do to make this happen. In the song itself the lead singer gives that intense look to the girl as if to say he’s interested while he passes her, when walking through the corridor. However it seems she is mixed up in this other business with the other men in the video.Like there's some sort of deal going on and involves her as she is focused on quite a bit in the video. The Song Itself:
4. As we can then see the lyrics start off with the lead singer stating, what does he have to do to get her where he wants her. Which is what we know is when meaning by his side. Then going on to say “ill guess we’ll see what might be”, therefore meaning she’ll eventually come around. The chorus is then a repetition of the title where he says “come closer”, which then is being directed at the girl. Lyrics
5. Structure This then consists of three chorus’s and 2 verses. The Indie Rock Genre can then be seen in the Artist Miles Kane when seeing the use of electric guitar, bass and drums being used in the song. The song also shows to be very up tempo as for example in the way the Lead singer is singing it as he belts the lyrics out and is constantly moving around to show his presence when playing.

There is also a zooming out shot of the main lead singer in the video where then again showing this fixed view on him. Also seeing close ups of the instruments such as the guitar to show this genre yet again of Indie Rock.
