Written by Godsmack frontman Sully Erna, this is a message to the band's old friends who resented the time-consuming responsibilities that came along with the group's rise to fame. "They're basically the people that don't understand that you have to tour, and there's a lot of work involved. So we're not able to call them every weekend and hang out anymore," Erna told MTV.com. "They don't realize how much work is actually involved in a 12-hour day. It takes a lot of time because you want it to be right for the fans."
This song was used in the 2004 video game Prince of Persia: Warrior Within, along with "I Stand Alone." It was used (without the helicopter intro) for the game's credits. The song helped to set the more dark and desperate feeling of the second game in the series, but many fans of the games did not care for the inclusion of Godsmack's music. The third and final game of the series, Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones, used the original Indian-like musical score.
This earned a Grammy nomination for Best Hard Rock Performance in 2004, but lost to "Bring Me To Life" by Evanescence.
