Songfacts®:

  • Device vocalist David Draiman wrote this for his wife, Japanese-American model and actress, Lena Yada. "She was the source of inspiration for that," he told Artist Direct. "She's gotten me through a lot of s--t and has been with me and stood by me through all of my bulls--t and idiosyncrasies. She's been the one. She's my rock. It's my tribute to her."
  • The song features vocals by former Deep Purple singer Glenn Hughes. "I originally tracked it myself," Draiman told Billboard magazine. "I went to the opening of Glenn's autobiography at the John Varvatos store in Malibu. I'd just finished mixing everything. I started to entertain the idea of having guest spots on the record. He's so fu--ing good, and he's got that inhuman ability. I approached him about it and asked, 'Would you want to do a guest vocal?' He was like, 'I'd love to.'"
