It peaked at number 7 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks chart and number 83 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.[1]
Great White's lead singer Jack Russell stated in an interview with the BBC's The Friday Rock Show that the song is about being alone. He had recently gone through a divorce and was with bandmate Mark Kendall—who had also recently broken up—when the band's manager walked in and said, "What is this, the house of broken love?"[2]
Linda Romine, of the Record-Journal, called the song a "Great White staple".[3]
The band played the song at the American Music Awards of 1990.
