In 2008, lead singer Darius Rucker recalled that he had just listened to the song "She Talks to Angels" by the Black Crowes for the first time and was listening to a record by blues singer Bonnie Raitt and "in one stream of consciousness" wrote the lyrics to the song.[4]
The single reached the number-two position on the US Billboard Top 40/Mainstream chart and number nine on the Billboard Hot 100.[5][6] It also peaked at number two on the Canadian RPM 100 Hit Tracks chart and number four on the Australian Singles Chart.[7][8]
The music video was directed by Adolfo Doring. The video was shot in a sepia tone and features the band singing the song intercut with a woman who runs around a city in the rain.
