Springsteen himself wrote about the song "after '85 I'd had enough and turned inward to write about men, women and love, things that have previously been on the periphery of my work."
Sam Springsteen je napisao: "nakon '85. bilo mi je dosta te sam se okrenuo prema sebi kako bih pisao o muškarcima, ženama i ljubavi, stvarima koje su prije bile na periferiji moga rada."
