The song was inspired by Henley's interaction with actress Michelle Pfeiffer at a party they both attended. Pfeiffer, who was in a bad mood due to a recent breakup, was outside smoking a cigarette, when Henley joined her and tried to comfort her. She rejected his advances, which led to Henley's friend and actor Jack Nicholson sarcastically remarking, "nice going, Henley!"
