Julie got a me delay pedal for Christmas a couple years ago. I locked myself in our rehearsal space for a few hours and played around with my new toy. I came up with the guitar riff for the chorus during those few hours.

I was seething from a romance that had recently crashed and burned. I was in my car on my way to band practice a few days later and I started to come up with the lyrics. I showed the idea to Julie when we got the our rehearsal space and she dug it, so we jammed it out and finished the song together. We had most of the song fleshed out and were just jamming on the music when Julie grabbed the mic and in a smoky Diana Ross speaking voice says "I thought we agreed / you wouldn't have the need to spread your seed / but it's a fact / you broke your contract". It was on.
