According to The Official Price Guide to Kiss Collectibles by Ingo Floren, "Let's Put the X in Sex" and "(You Make Me) Rock Hard" "let some fans wonder about the new musical direction of the band" because there "were produced with lots of keyboards over a dance-orientated beat".

The song is about sex.
