It was the band's biggest radio hit, posthumously after singer Bradley Nowell's death in 1996 from a heroin overdose. It was the second single to be released by the band, following "Date Rape" (1991). The song's chorus is a lift from "Loving" by Half Pint.[3] The song's melody is similar to the Beatles' "Lady Madonna".[4][5]
