• Richie Sambora closes his third solo album Aftermath of the Lowdown with this track, which he wrote with his pal Bruce Foster, the guy who first got the Bon Jovi guitarist into the music business. He recalled to Artist Direct: "He had a deal on Casablanca Records. I was in college, and I'd play with him. He'd pull me into sessions as a guitar player. I played with his band. He was the real first pro I ever played with. I've written lots of songs with him on my other solo albums, and he's written for other artists also."
• Sambora and Foster wrote this about five years before he laid it down for Aftermath of the Lowdown. "I remembered the melody," Sambora recalled to Artist Direct. "It's like an adult lullaby. It's begging the world for forgiveness because humanity has f--ked it up [Laughs]."
