I'm Not Your Toy was originally released by British synth-pop act La Roux in 2009, taken from their self-titled debut album and issued as a single that year. Nero, the British electronic act known for dubstep-influenced dance production, later reworked it with a heavier club rhythm and brighter synth textures. The remix circulated through dance sets, radio edits and online playlists, helping the song reach listeners beyond its original pop audience. It remains popular today as a compact, high-energy throwback for edits and dance content.
