Korn lead singer Jonathan Davis said: "The song is about domestic abuse and that there are ways to get help. Whether it's telling someone or calling a help line, there are ways to get out of those situations. No one has to be treated like that."
This was the first hit off of their fourth CD, Issues. The CD came with four different covers. The most common one had a voodoo doll on the cover. A second cover was a chalk design on a playground of a girl and a boy, a third had the band as dummies with fake hair and zipped-up mouths, and the fourth showed a bunch of newspaper headlines glued to a wall and in the middle was a picture of someone laying down in a dark room with a shadow behind him.
Limp Bizkit's Fred Durst directed the video, whose concept was a teen coping with domestic abuse. According to Pop-Up video, MTV had a problem with the beating part. They wouldn't allow Korn to show any direct contact. According to Korn's management, the electricity part of the video "represents the power inside us to change our situation and take control." Korn saw it differently, "it was just a metal cool thing." At the end of the clip when the room starts lighting up, if you look close enough you can see Fred Durst's face for a split second.
