  • This is one of two songs on the album hat were a collective writing effort by the band, a rarity in Collective Soul's recording history. "We've never written together as a band," Roland told Billboard magazine, "so it was a new experience. I think it's the confidence that the other guys have gotten in their music skills and the songwriting and also, for lack of a better term, me letting go of my ego a little bit and going, 'You know what? These guys can do this.' And it was a lot of fun."
