This is a song about sex. Bassist Mark Hoppus and guitarist Tom DeLonge had an idea to go into two separate rooms and write, and an hour later come out with what they had. When they left each room, they discovered that they had both written about sex. Tom had written the verses about the physical aura ("I wanna take off her clothes"), while Mark wrote about the chorus and bridge about the passionate side ("Place your hand in mine").
In 2020, Mark Hoppus named this as his favorite blink-182 song. He tweeted: "It's the apex of blink-182. The best of all of us. It was different and new and (in my opinion) ground-breaking."
The lead single from the band's fifth studio album, it was also the first track they recorded for the project. It peaked at #2 on the Modern Rock chart.
