- This is rumored to be about Eric Clapton, who Crow dated for a while. She has said it is not about one person in particular, but a composite of guys she went out with who weren't good for her. Clapton appears on her 1999 album Sheryl Crow and Friends: Live From Central Park, where he performed "White Room."
- Crow learned from Carly Simon that it might be a good idea not to say who the song is about. Simon has never said who her 1972 song "You're So Vain" is about, which has kept people talking about it.
