Lead guitar on this song is played by Dhani. George listed the song's publisher as "R.I.P Music Ltd" instead of his usual music company Harrisongs, which Holland said showed "Harrison's dark sense of humour." The lyrics partially reflect George's own stubbornness in not quitting smoking despite the medical evidence that it causes the disease, and relates this to other people who ignore warnings, enlightenment and plain common sense. Holland played the song in tribute to Harrison at 2002's Concert for George, with Sam Brown on lead vocals.
