About this song
The track was born from a dare by Josh to Tyler to write a playful second verse rapping about a cheetah named Jason Statham. Tyler initially struggled with the task before eventually making a breakthrough and was excited to show Josh the result. The song received notable radio play, reaching #16 on Billboard's Hot Rock & Alternative Songs chart.
What it's about
Tyler uses the cheetah as a metaphor for his periods of writer's block. The song connects lyrically to Migraine and Chlorine, which also personify his creative process.
