This song about taking a shot in the head for a prospective lover was penned in a South African hotel room. "Obviously things changed when we got in the studio, like the intro, but it felt like a '90s song to me," vocalist Caleb Followill told Billboard magazine. "That's when we were listening to a lot of music, and still when we play it, we crack up the whole time, this the most radio friendly song…" The Mechanical Bull Deluxe edition bonus track "Last Mile Home" was penned the same night.
According to drummer Nathan Followill, the breakdown in the song is the band's ode to Irish rockers Thin Lizzy.
The band have performed the song on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Late Night with Jimmy Fallon and Saturday Night Live.
