The song peaked at number one on the U.S. Mainstream Rock Tracks chart, and is a staple for live performances by Rush, having been performed on every tour since the inaugural Roll the Bones Tour until 2010 when it was dropped for the Time Machine Tour.
The song was released as the second single from their second album, Ænima, and reached number 23 on the U.S. Mainstream Rock Tracks chart.
Released in 1997, it is the band's fourth charting single and their second most successful song, after 1993's Broken Hearted Savior, from their album Sister Sweetly.
Four singles from the album ("Thorn in My Pride", "Sting Me", "Remedy", and "Hotel Illness") topped the Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart, bringing the band's overall total to six.
