During an interview with Robert Cavuoto of Myglobalmind, Buckcherry opened up about covering Bryan Adams' Summer of 69. Josh Todd said, “We're huge fans of Bryan Adams.”
He continued, “I think every band, when you're in the game of songwriting, you'll have those songs that you just wish you wrote yourself that aren't your songs, and that's one of those songs.”
He added, “I have loved that song since the '80s. It's just one of those songs, I'm, like, 'F*ck!' Every time I hear it, I'm, like, 'I wish I would have written this song. This song is perfect.' So that's why we recorded it.”
