“L.E.S. Artistes” was written after Santi White moved to New York City. The song “is playing on the fact that everyone tries to make things fancy and it’s really pretentious” and “about being accosted by the New York scene and the scenesters and hipsters, who are really not artists and are just pretending to be. They’re all about just being seen.” Contrary to popular belief, the title stands for New York’s Lower East Side. “It’s not a French thing,” White stated in an interview with PopJustice. On MTV’s FNMTV, Santogold stated that the title literally meant Lower East Side Artists.
