Kid Rock wrote this song, which finds him discovering a picture of his ex and asking her to come back to him. Rock proudly indulged his desires with the many groupies available to him, but this song shows his sensitive side, as he's feeling unfulfilled. When Sheryl Crow comes in for the duet, she explains why she left: He was cheating on her. There rumors that Rock and Crow were dating in real life, but they both denied it.
Sheryl Crow's contribution was almost kiboshed over a dispute between her label, A&M, and Rock's label, Atlantic. Rock ended up recording a version with Allison Moorer that was released as a single, but the version on the album featured Crow, and she's also in the music video. Some radio stations played the official single with Moorer, but most played the version with Crow because she was a bigger name. When the song charted, Billboard faced a conundrum because it wasn't clear who should be credited with Rock. They ended up listing the artist as "Kid Rock featuring Allison Moorer or Sheryl Crow."
This song was quite a departure from the rap-rock songs Kid Rock was known for, but it wasn't his first foray into country music: His 1999 single "Only God Knows Why" is a country ballad and was the biggest hit from his breakthrough album Devil Without A Cause, going to #19 on the Hot 100. "Picture" became the biggest chart hit of his career, going to #4. Rock's DJ, Uncle Kracker, had an easy listening hit of his own with "Follow Me" in 2000. Since the success of "Picture," Kid Rock has had numerous duet partners from the country music world, including Kellie Pickler, Martina McBride, and Miranda Lambert.
