The song's lyrics carry a message of unrequited love and how Mars' heart got broken, despite his best efforts. Initially released as a promotional single on September 28, 2010, it was later announced to be the album's second single from the album released by Atlantic and Elektra.

When arriving at the home of his beloved, he discovers she is with another man, so he decides to leave and ends up by killing himself.
