Songfacts®:

  • Slash's debut solo album was very much a solo album, but his second set was more of a collaboration with vocalist Myles Kennedy. In fact it was the singer who came up with the guitar part for this song's chorus. Said Slash to MusicRadar.com: "This one was another song that was written at my house and then I sent it to Myles and he came right back with the chorus part and it pretty much wrote itself after that."
