This reggae-flavored, summery track finds Snoop choosing marijuana as his coping mechanism as he sings about loved ones who they have lost. "Tonight there's gonna be a whole lot of smoke in the air," he croons. "Blow it hard for the ones who ain't here." A heartbroken Miley Cyrus then reminisces about losing those close to her, whether it's the passing away of a family member or a breakup. "Is there any possibility that everyone feels like me," she sings, "You're gone, but you're never missed."
The song features island-tinged percussion by Stewart Copeland of The Police and additional vocals by Brooklyn-native singer-songwriter Angela Hunte. The latter is best known for co-writing the original version of Jay-Z's "Empire State of Mind."
Snoop told MTV News that he feels Miley is often criticized by the press unfairly. "She loves what I do and I really love what she does, so for us to come together, it's bold and courageous," he said. "People just expect so much from her because they've been watching her her whole life, from being a kid. She's just ready to be a grown up and express herself, and I support it."
