Composition
"Disco Tits" is a disco- and house-inflected[7][8] electroclash[1] and dance-pop[2] song. The song moves at a tempo of 110 beats per minute.[9] According to the singer, "Disco Tits" is about "losing yourself with your new found love."[10]
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."

Perspective
Tom Breihan of Stereogum praised the song's "sexy-deadpan delivery and its chilly throb."[12] Hilary Hughes of MTV 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 of Idolator wrote that the song "retreats to the druggy dance-pop of Queen of the Clouds."[2] David Sikorski of Ear Milk called the song "a sweat dripping retro club banger that we just can't get enough of."[9] Media site Uproxx described the song as "a disco-inspired take on a modern club banger that has some Robyn vibes."[7]

Music video
The song's music video, directed by Tim Erem, premiered on 5 October 2017, via Lo's Vevo 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 of Billboard 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.
