Indaba Music The band began releasing stems (separate pieces of the song) of some upcoming songs on Indaba, for fans to mix and edit as they wished, or enter them in a contest. The best mixes as voted by the band will be released digitally, and the grand prize winner will get to play on stage with the band. "Non-Dairy Creamer" was the first of three songs to be released on Indaba. The other two were "Red Star" and "Don't Believe a Word". The stems were as follows: vocals, backing vocals, guitar, bass, drums, keys, and violin. Meaning Jenkins said of the song: "Non-Dairy Creamer" contains the line, "Some, some of them I murder; some, some I let go", which also occurs in the song Paper Planes by M.I.A.--in both instances it is sung to the same tune as The Clash's "Straight to Hell". "Straight to Hell" is also a politically charged social commentary regarding the Vietnam War and other social injustices rendering it an important reference point for interpreting "Non-Dairy Creamer".
