The song is about American actor and cultural icon James Dean (1931-1955). He starred in such films as "Rebel Without a Cause", "Giant" and "East of Eden" before his tragic death in 1955. The lyrics, "too fast to live, too young to die" reflect his mischievous and dangerous lifestyle.

The B-side "Good Day in Hell" is notable for being the first Eagles track recorded with Don Felder, who joined the band midway through the sessions for the album.
