- The song was written by Paul Gendler, Julian Hamilton, and Fiona Bevan. It was produced by the production team Future Cut, comprised of Paul Gendler and Connor Blake.
- "Walks Like Rihanna" was the second single from their third studio album, Word of Mouth. The album followed their 2012 release Battleground.
