This song was co-written by front-men Steve Page and Ed Robertson. Robertson had written the song following the success of the album Stunt, after seeing that people in their native Canada were unaware of the band's success. The lyrics themselves describe a situation where things are going pretty well in your life, and you feel fine, but you know that things could be better.
The guitar riff throughout the verses were based on the song "Leaving Las Vegas" by Sheryl Crow.
This song is one of the many that the band often change the lyrics to during live performances for comedic effect. Lyrics that are often changed include "And run through with my gym short on" replaced with "no clothing on," "And change in to drier clothes" to "changing to my sister's clothes." When they were on tour with Alanis Morissette, the line was often changed to "change into Alanis' clothes."
