The story behind the song

This song's title comes from a harrowing incident where bassist Nikki Sixx was said to have been revived with an adrenaline injection directly to his heart after a drug overdose. Another account suggests he was revived by CPR and a cold shower before paramedics arrived. Written by Sixx on acoustic guitar during the Dr. Feelgood sessions, the song came together quickly once he shared the lyrics with the band. It captures a feeling of explosive energy and a brush with the edge.
