Songfacts®:

  • Lostprophets vocalist Ian Watkins told Kerrang! magazine: We finished the album and came back from LA, but it felt like something was missing. It didn't feel rounded. So I went back to the bedroom that I grew up in and started writing this. I poured over it so much, but (luckily) everyone loved it."

    Watkins was raised by his mother Elaine and Church minister stepfather John Davies in a Baptist manse in Pontypridd, South Wales.
  • If the song title sounds familiar to you, you're most likely thinking of Kanye West's single of the same name.
