Cooper kommentoi kappaletta seuraavasti:
I had never heard that song on the radio. (Bob Ezrin) and I saw that (video) and went, ’We could jazz that song up a little bit and turn it into something else.´ It has a great story and I love the chord structure and everything to it. We just treated it a little more hard rock. It really does have that Detroit feel all the way through it. It came out as a pretty unique song, and I think that has a lot to do with those players.
I told Bob Seger when I saw him ’We’re gonna do one of your songs,’ and he probably thought I wanted to do one of the hits. I told him ’East Side Story,’ and he goes, ’What?!’ I said, ’Yeah, we’re gonna do that one.’ I hope he likes it. I’m glad we gave it a second life.
