The song features lead vocals by Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler, also signed to Sony Music Entertainment.

The single achieved reasonable success in Australia, debuting at Number 8 on the ARIA chart and receiving significant airplay.

The song was also recorded with Puddle of Mudd frontman Wes Scantlin on vocals but Santana said he felt Tyler did it better, with more emotion, although he liked both renditions.

[citation needed] The music video stars Nikki Reed as a girl with various troubles, including a teacher who makes sexual advances towards her and a strained relationship with her mother.

At the end, she finally meets a nice guy but who is suddenly killed in an accident, which drives her to make amends with her mother and work harder in school.
