The song complements the rock-based "Gold" and features rousing guitar solos and live drumming as well as various studio tricks throughout the track.

Prince also made a special remix of the song called the "Tony Fly Mix" to be played on the local Minneapolis DJ's radio program.

In a retrospective review, Andy Healy from Albumism stated that the song "is filled with uplift and hope despite the trials and tribulations it documents."

He added, "It's The Artist's very own "Purple Rain" moment, if you will, with rousing chorus, powerful arrangement, soaring guitar solo and epic seven-plus-minute run time.

[9] A music video was produced to promote the single, filmed at Paisley Park Studios on October 10, 1995[10] and directed by Prince himself.
