Songfacts®:

  • Frontman Matt Tuck in Metal Hammer magazine: "This one was written musically in Germany when we were on tour with The Poison. It is one of the oldest songs on the record. The concept of it is basically about the human race being in the position that they are told they only have 24 hours to live. What are they gonna do? There are kind of two extremes. You live these last 24 hours as hard as you can - you take drugs and get pissed and go around f--king girls. Or you are just lucky in your house with your family, friends and loved ones and you spend every second you can with those."
