Composition

In a November 2017 interview with Songfacts, Gavin Rossdale explained the song's inspiration:

Music video

The video was shot throughout January and February 1995 in an old mansion in Long Island, NY,and Los Angeles, and at the band's studio. The video was directed by Matt Mahurin who also directed their previous video for "Everything Zen"

The video cuts between images of a grinning woman wearing black face paint, an albino snake, a fire-eating woman, a man's reflection in a river, and a man kissing a classical or neo-classical statute and then dragging it around with him. This imagery alternates with film of Gavin Rossdale and other band members performing the song.
