"It's a relationship song," said Jonathan Davis. "You go through that shit and you get hurt so bad. Then you think, 'It's not worth it anymore. I'm not going to fucking love again.' You experience so many pressures to be a good dad, a good husband, a good lover, or whatever. Being in a relationship is a lot of work."^[2]

Released to alternative, active rock and heritage rock radio on August 12, 2013, the single was made available for purchase through Amazon MP3 on August 20, 2013.^[3]

"We just got our first No.1 single," marvelled Jonathan Davis. "It's amazing that, after twenty years, we're still putting out shit that people like."^[4]

An official lyric video was uploaded to YouTube on August 13, 2013,^[5] and the band filmed a music video with director Giovanni Bucci.^[6][7] The latter premiered on September 6, 2013.^[8]
