Album Notes & Community Reviews
Driven entirely by strummed acoustic guitars and an impossibly massive, lung-busting vocal performance from Linda Perry, this song became an inescapable cultural phenomenon. The track's highly repetitive, passionately sung chorus tackles broad existential frustration and a desperate yearning for purpose. Despite polarizing critical reception regarding its simplicity, the song achieved monumental, lasting chart dominance across the globe.
