The producer Cavallo plays piano on the track and said it was written in eight minutes. "It's not a poetic track. It's very direct, very brutal, but that's the way disease is," Way said in a 2006 statement. "For me it was almost like an attempt to write the darkest song ever, and I think we achieved that."
