The song was also recorded with Puddle of Mudd frontman Wes Scantlin on vocals but Santana said he felt Tyler did it better, with more emotion, although he liked both renditions.

In the music video, Nikki Reed stars as the main girl. She is shown to have various troubles, such as a teacher who makes sexual advances towards her and a strained relationship with her mother. At the very end she finally meets a really nice guy but a terrible accident happens which kills him instantly. This was the final straw for her and makes amends with her mother and tries better at school.

This song is shown to be playing on the first generation iPod Nano on its packaging box.

In 2010, Damon Johnson recorded his own version of the song for his album Release.
