This was released as the fourth single from Far Beyond Driven. It concerns vocalist Phil Anselmo's childhood, describing it as a time of abuse and neglect. The song peaked at #118 on the Hot 100 chart and also reached #12 on the Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart.
Far Beyond Driven was Pantera's seventh studio album. Upon its release on March 22, 1994 it debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200, the first extreme metal LP to top the chart.
Anselmo told Artist Direct how the song came together: "(Dimebag) Darrell had found this new noisy ass fu--ing pedal, and he came up with this heaving monstrous fu--ing riff using this pedal," he said. "I loved it because it was screechy, fu--ed up, and original-sounding—and ugly at the same time." "Also the drum beat and the kick drum patterns to that song are fu--ing outrageous," he continued. "The riff is heavy and very Pantera to the max, and it also has the huge chorus. That song embodies the spirit of Pantera very well."
