The song was the first single from the album, and seemed to address the various rumors that surrounded the band at the time. The opening lines, "In the darkest hole/You'd be well advised not to plan my funeral before the body dies," seem to be addressing the rumors that the band had broken up and the many rumors of Layne Staley's death that had occurred frequently around this time.

The song was leaked to radio prematurely so the band released it via satellite uplink a few days later to combat illegal versions being played in rotation. [ [http://www.sonymusic.com/artists/AliceInChains/bio.html Alice In Chains ] ]

The video received heavy rotation on MTV in late 1995.
