這首1983年問世的曲子原是為紀念甲克蟲樂隊（The Beatles）被槍殺的主唱約翰·列儂（John Lennon）而作。 1980年12月8日，馬克?查普曼偽裝成壹個歌迷，在列儂的公寓旁邊徘徊了很久。那天晚上，當列儂從錄音棚返回家中的時候，查普曼請列儂在他的簽字本上簽名。當時他內心曾進行過激烈的鬥爭，但最後仍然舉起手槍朝著列儂的後背連開了5槍。 和Moonlight Shadow中所寫的He was shot six times by a man on the run類似,但看了原版的MTV之後，這首歌應該和John Lennon的被刺並沒有直接聯系，似乎男主角死於壹場決鬥中，這倒象是普希金，但不知道普希金的妻子娜達麗亞會不會這樣來懷念他。
