Songfacts®:

• This song is about a relationship with someone who keeps coming in and out of your life, and every time they come back they screw up your whole world. Guitarist Dan Donegan told Artist Direct: "As far as the message and the meaning goes, a lot of David's stuff lyrically is relationship-related. That's another one of those situations. I think it's more so about a person who's coming in and out of your life in a relationship, and it brings you 'Hell.' [Laughs]."
• The song was recorded in early 2005 at Groovemaster Studios in Chicago and originally appeared as a B-side from the band's single "Stricken."
• In 2011 it was re-released as the first single from Disturbed's first-ever B-sides compilation album, The Lost Children.
• The song was a bonus track on the UK and Tour edition of Ten Thousand Fists but was left off the American release. Donegan explained why to Artist Direct: "At the time, we thought, 'Hell' is such a cool song, but we want to leave it off hoping we can find the right outlet for it at the right time—whether it be a soundtrack or a sporting event. We left it off because we felt it was such a strong song. The song was always in the back of our minds."
