The story behind the song

"Amber" is a reggae rock song inspired by vocalist Nick Hexum's relationship with singer Nicole Scherzinger, who even appears briefly in the music video. It showcases a more calming, reggae style compared to some of the band's earlier, more alternative work. The song's intro was remixed for the band's Greatest Hits '93–'03 compilation. At its heart, it plays like a sweet, sun-drenched ode to a special connection.
