The song was one of two new songs recorded exclusively for the album (the other being "Me Wise Magic").
Its artwork features a stylized image of Buddha, reflecting the song's lyrics, (specifically the lyric: "a Buddhist riff for your inner ear.") "Me Wise Magic" became an instant radio hit - Van Halen's third #1 hit with Roth - and twelfth of a record-setting 14 Billboard #1s during the 1980s and 1990s.

Eventually when checking all the new songs along with Eddie and producer Glen Ballard, Roth narrowed down to a shuffle, "Can't Get This Stuff No More," and a pop song, "Me Wise Magic".

In July 1996, Roth arrived at 5150 Studios with Eddie without the guitarist warning bandmembers Michael Anthony and Alex Van Halen about the singer's return.
