Songfacts®:

• Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine penned this song with TH1RT3EN producer Johnny K, who has previously worked with Disturbed, Machine Head and Staind. Speaking to MusicRadar.com, bassist Dave Ellefson commented: "This song is like riff-mania. Dave has a great ability to write a fantastic array of riffs, and he's a master at compiling them to create a song.

It's a total explosion of great parts."
