“I became one of those singers whose career is a slave to his band,” Pop says in the clip. “I wanted an emotional escape, so I decided I had to strike out on my own, live and on record, to see what I was worth.”

Homme adds, “So, when [Iggy] texts me about recording it together I was just like … you’re in The Stooges and I’m in Queens and those are heavy things… Just hearing his voice, I could barely concentrate.”
