This song is about the very intense relationship lead singer Wes Scantlin had with an ex-girlfriend. He couldn't control her and she couldn't control him, which made it very combustible.
This was Puddle Of Mudd's first single. It was released on Fred Durst's label, Flawless Records. Scantlin gave one of Durst's bodyguards a demo tape when he got backstage at a Limp Bizkit show, and Durst signed the band when he heard it.
Scantlin was arrested in March 2002, after fighting with his girlfriend in a car. In another example of life imitating art, there is a scene in the video of Scantlin and his girlfriend fighting in a car by the side of a highway and never quite making up. Charges were not filed.
