In the liner notes of 1999’s Music Bank box set collection, guitarist Jerry Cantrell said of the song:
This guy, Praga Kahn, did three different mixes. One I didn’t like, the second one (Trip hop Mix) had horns and strings without too many guitars or drums, which I kinda liked. Then there was [the “Tattoo of Pain Mix”], which was cool too. We put a couple out as “B” sides in Europe. Personally, I never got used to the idea that you had to give some places extra songs and not others, it should be the same for everybody as far as I’m concerned.[6]
