Songfacts®:

  • This heartfelt paean to love's salvation was released as the lead single (along with "Fabuless") from Stone Sour's sixth studio album, Hydrograd. "'Song #3' is actually about a certain kind of love that I don't think songwriters really talk about,"" frontman Corey Taylor explained to Loudwire Nights host Toni Gonzalez. "It's that strong passionate love but also that undying love. That really, really good s–t, you know?"

    "Everybody talks about the sappy stuff, everybody talks about the sexy stuff," he added. "There's that middle section where one meets the other and you never know which way it's going to tip on any given moment. But mmmm, it's really, really good."
  • This song topped the US Billboard Mainstream Rock Songs chart in June 2017. It was Stone Sour's fourth #1 on the listing following "Through Glass," "Say You'll Haunt Me" and "Tired."
