It was released in June 1997 as the first single from their self-titled debut album, released in 1997. It was a major hit of the 1990s, reaching number four in the U.S. number one on the Modern Rock Tracks and the Top 40 in the UK.
Beneath a catchy, upbeat melody, with rapidly spoken lyrics and references to popular culture, the song contains dark lyrics about a drug user's descent into crystal meth addiction and his implied sexual activities while trying to "want something else."
The video features many scenes with motor scooters and a 1960 Chevrolet Impala filmed around San Francisco.
The music video version of the song is a little bit shorter than the album version, one small part is skipped, and it's actually censored, they distort and make unintelligible the words "crystal meth".
