MTV banned the single's music video for drug references and "violent content". The song was produced by Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst,^[1] who encouraged the band to return to the more aggressive sound of their earlier albums.^[2] On December 11, 2020, the song was performed live for the first time in 20 years via the band's online pay-per-view special, "Alive at Pachyderm Station".
