Background edit

The song's chord progressions are similar to Green Day's "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" and Oasis' "Wonderwall".[2]

Music video edit

The band flew to Los Angeles to shoot the music video on March 6. The video was directed/produced by Wayne Isham.

The video is a straightforward representation of the song. It intersperses shots of the band playing (later in the video, amid wind-blown blossoms) with shots of Pierre Bouvier's girlfriend, meeting (and having sex) with another man, while Bouvier, betrayed by the woman, waits in agony in his apartment. His apartment has a view of the man's apartment, with a clear view of a bedroom's window, where he sees them have sex.

Live performances edit

The song was performed at the closing ceremony of the 2010 Winter Olympics.
