[edit] Music and structure
The song is notably more slow-paced and more of a power ballad than previous singles. On the untitled album's bonus DVD, Munky describes the sound of the drums "like a toy soldier march," which are played by Terry Bozzio.
[edit] Chart performance
The song is Korn's most unsuccessful single to date, failing to chart over a month after its release. It is Korn's first single not to chart in the United States or have an accompanying music video since 1999's "Children of the Korn". Furthermore, the song was quickly pulled from radio stations during the week of May 18, 2008, according to the Active Rock Mediabase chart.
[edit] Live performance
The song was debuted on the first date of Korn's Bitch We Have a Problem Tour in Reno, Nevada on September 22, 2007.[2] An acoustic version was also performed backstage before the tour's Vancouver date, three days later.[3]
