"What You're On" is a dance-pop song written by James Ash, Natalie Bassingthwaighte and Steve Davis, and produced by Ash for the Rogue Traders's third studio album "Better in the Dark" (2007). Co-writer, Ash, states the song deals with addiction. [http://www.roguetraders.com.au/newsEvents/home.do?newsId=20030829005058 "Rogue Traders' New Album In Stores Now!"] . RogueTraders.com.au. Retrieved April 16 2008.] It was as released as the album's third single in Australia as a digital download on March 15, 2008 and as a CD single on April 19, 2008.

Band member and one of the song's writers, Ash, states that the song is very special to the band and "it seems to connect with people quite deeply." He also states that the song is a highlight from the album and it allowed him to be "indulgent" which is how he imagined it. The band's lead singer, Bassingthwaighte, states "this [song] seems to me to be saying 'You have issues but you can get over it', so I prefer to be realistic than stylistic. I think about someone I know when I sing it." This is the last single with Natalie Bassingthwaighte. [ [http://forums.roguetraders.com.au/index.php?s=&showtopic=4534&view=findpost&p=143142] .
