In 2002, lead singer Sully Erna reflected on the song's Grammy nomination:
- "I don't even know why we were nominated, because we were in a category with Joe Satriani and these other guys for best instrumental performance. And the instrumental that we had on our record was an accident, so that was pretty bizarre to be nominated for that."[3]
The song is written by Sully Erna and Robbie Merrill.
