La canción Jumpin Jack Flash fue inspirada por una experiencia de Keith Richards, cuando él y Mick Jagger estaban en su propiedad en Redlands. Durante una mañana, cuando Jack Dyer estaba pasando, Jagger preguntó quién era, a lo que Richards respondió: Oh, ese es Jack - Jumping Jack. La canción habla sobre superar obstáculos y seguir adelante, con una energía rock contagiosa.
