"pull up to the bumper" was co-written by grace jones, kookoo baya and dana manno. the song's instrumental part was originally recorded in 1980 during the "warm leatherette" sessions; however, it did not make the album as chris blackwell found its r&b sound not fitting in the rest of the material. it was completed for the 1981 critically acclaimed album "nightclubbing" and became its third single in june 1981.

the song sparked some controversy for its suggestive lyrics as these figuratively describe sexual intercourse and fellatio, prompting some radio stations in the united states to refuse to broadcast it. among the lines are "pull up to my bumper baby / in your long black limousine / pull up to my bumper baby / drive it in between", "grease it / spray it / let me lubricate it" and "i've got to blow your horn." however, in a 2008 interview with the "q" magazine, jones revealed that the meaning of the lyrics were not necessarily meant to be interpreted as a metaphor for anal sex.
