Background

The song was performed live on January 21, 2004, and has remained a permanent staple of the band's live set (though there have been a few occasions where it was omitted). As of May 2018, it has been performed live a total of 776 times, and is Avenged Sevenfold's most played live song, ahead of the runner up "Bat Country", which has been played a total of 707 times. It is also the only song from Waking the Fallen to have remained a staple of their live set. The song is about two people, who are a couple, whom find out they are both cheating on each other. This song was one of Avenged Sevenfold's last songs in which lead singer M. Shadows uses a raspy, screaming voice. He later switched to a cleaner voice on their third studio album, City of Evil.
