In 2010, Chris Robinson explained in a webisode (part of a promotional internet series for the band's 2010 Croweology album) that the song is loosely based on a "goth girl" he was acquainted with in Atlanta who was "into heroin".[2]
The song was covered by Brent Smith and Zach Myers of the American hard rock band Shinedown on their 2014 Acoustic Sessions EP.[3]
It was also covered by Mark Morton of the American heavy metal band Lamb of God on his 2020 solo EP Ether, featuring Lzzy Hale on vocals.[4]
