The story behind the song

"Hey Jealousy" captures the raw regret of a man who has lost the best thing he ever had due to his own mistakes. Inspired by songwriter Doug Hopkins' desire to reconcile with an ex-girlfriend, the song finds him showing up at her door, asking if he can just crash there tonight. He admits that if he hadn't blown the whole thing years ago, he might not be alone, promising he won't think or sleep around. This track, re-recorded for the Gin Blossoms' 1992 album New Miserable Experience, plays like a desperate plea for a second chance.
