Songfacts®:

  • After touring in support of the band's previous album, Dizzy Up The Girl, a just-divorced Johnny Rzeznik settled in Los Angeles and explored what the dating scene had to offer. "I was just thinking about some of the people I had wound up dating since I got divorced," he told Billboard of the tune. "And it's a different, strange thing in Los Angeles to date people."
  • On the Gutterflower track list, this appears between the singles "Big Machine" and "Here Is Gone," both of which are also meditations on life and love in LA.
  • Gutterflower reunited the band with Rob Cavallo, who also produced Dizzy Up The Girl. At the time, Cavallo was largely known for his work with Green Day, having produced Dookie, Insomniac, and Nimrod.
