"The song can be taken very literally, but it's actually a very metaphorical song...It's about the love-hate relationship with the media and how sometimes the pain is pleasurable. We feed off it - or I do. And it was a very personal message that I was trying to get across."
The song later got a remix video starring Britney Spears, which spent an entire week at No. 1 on Billboard's Hot 100.
