Written by lead singer Steve Perry and keyboard player Jonathan Cain, "Suzanne" tells the story of a guy whose ex-girlfriend is now a huge star. He can't let her go, and is tormented every time he sees her on the screen.
Asked in an online Q&A if this song was based on a real person, Steve Perry replied: "It was a fantasy encounter with a film star who also had a vocal artist career. Just a secret person that's in the song to live forever in that song. Real or not, she's real in the track."
