According to lead singer Sully Erna, this is about a guy who was his buddy. When Godsmack got big, this guy was going with Sully to clubs and parties. They stopped hanging out as much but the guy continued to go out to places where people knew he knew the band. He would hang out in the VIP rooms and tell them that Godsmack was on their way. Toward the end of the night he would make up an excuse as to why the band wasn't showing up. Sully felt betrayed by someone using his name and image to gain their own fame.
Erna told Pandora Stories that adversarial themes often show up in his songwriting. "Every song that I've ever written was about an enemy of mine, whether male or female," he laughed. "Someone aggravated me at some point in my life."
This was the third single from IV, Godsmack's fourth studio album. It peaked at #4 on the Mainstream Rock chart.
