The first concert that Staley attended was Elton John's, and Cantrell's first album was Elton John Greatest Hits (1974). Cantrell described the song as the band's goodbye to Staley. The song is a tribute to the band's late lead singer, Layne Staley, who died in 2002. Written and sung by guitarist/vocalist Jerry Cantrell, it features Elton John on piano.
