It peaked at number 15 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and number four on the Billboard Adult Top 40. It also became a hit in Canada, Italy and New Zealand, reaching number nine on the Italian Singles Chart, number 35 on the New Zealand Singles Chart, and number 45 on the Canadian RPM Top Singles chart. The song was included on the second volume on the soundtrack of The WB's television drama Dawson's Creek.

Music video

Directed by Dani Jacobs, the video features the band's tour bus traveling on a highway at night before stopping at a gas station and diner called "Four Aces". They enter the diner and are persuaded by some girls who give them guitars (from the boss's office) to perform on stage. It attracts a crowd of people who were informed by one of the diner's bartenders played by Daphne Zuniga. An alternative version of the video features scenes from the third season of Dawson's Creek.
