This track served as the third single from R.E.M.'s ninth studio album, Monster, released in 1994 by Warner Bros. Records. The song features background vocals from Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth. Michael Stipe attributed the song's inspiration to the New York Dolls, citing their ability to create exaggerated, sleazy, over-the-top musical moments. The track marked one of the initial compositions to emerge from Stipe following a period of creative difficulty that had followed actor River Phoenix's death.
