[1] The song's guitar riff was initially written for a six minute long "epic" sounding track, according to band guitarist Mike Mushok.
[1] He eventually rewrote and re-arranged the track during the band's Break the Cycle sessions, where it made the cut for the album.
[9][10] The song also received its own music video, which alternates between the band performing in a crumbling watch tower and footage of a man in an office space.
The video features clips of a child witnessing his parents devolve into violent confrontations while the band performs in front of a large pendulum inside of a clock tower.
[14] Spin, in its dedicated song review, praised the track for being "another moody, well-crafted ballad" by the band.
