Songfacts®:

  • Tesla guitarist Frank Hannon told Bravewords.com that this song is the opposite of the previous three tracks on the album, which are about personal challenges and things falling apart. He explained: "It is about someone being extraordinary and turning you on and digging it. Life is a constant roller coaster ride. I mean you have to go through ups and downs that is kind of how our music is. Some songs are very up, some songs are down. We are just taking you on the ride."
