Set in 12/8 meter and structured as a slide in D major, the song features a driving, rhythmic character propelled by a prominent, stomping bassline and energetic instrumentation. Released in 2005, the track achieved widespread historical association and pop culture fame after being prominently featured in Martin Scorsese's Academy Award-winning film The Departed.
