Background

To quote Hagar:

I'm a firm believer - have seen, have felt, have been contacted three or four different times. I have received information that has been valuable in my life from those people (extraterrestrial life), and they have used me. I'm gonna sound like a complete nut here, but they have used me in an experimental fashion. The easiest way to put it is that they downloaded my brain information.[6]

Hagar wrote the lyrics on the spot and sang it live with a hand-held mic.[7][8]

Billboard called it a "tricky little tune" that goes "from hard-rock swagger to a graceful chorus hook."[9]
