The song, an anthem of survival that celebrates the companionship of true love, was released when Jones was at his hell-raising worst. In the same month of the single's release, he caused a minor riot when he failed to show for a performance in Jackson, Tennessee, resulting in the police being called when enraged fans stormed the box office to demand their money back.[3] He was also accused of throwing a bottle through the sliding glass doors of his room at the Holiday Inn Rivermont in Memphis.[3] Jones later commented in 1995, "I could not help but be astonished about the reverse parallel of my career and life. The more anguish I underwent in my personal life, the more my career flourished."[4]
