On March 3, 2011, DJ White Shadow spoke to MTV News about the song saying:

"The guy that’s actually talking, that’s her security guard. We were sitting there thinking how to make a computerized voice, so we were like, ‘Let’s get Pete in here’. He’s got a super-thick Dutch accent, and he’s trying to read off paper. It was insane, and he just talks like that".

NME magazine mentioned Pete in an article.

"The song as 'Gregorian pop chants, pervy robot voices (courtesy of Gaga’s bodyguard, Pete).'"
