This song is about Jesus Christ, whom Lenny Kravitz referred to as the ultimate rock star. It’s about how god gives a choice to man about where to turn. In an interview posted on his website, Kravitz explained the origin of the song we were just jamming in the studio, you know, I was jamming with Craig Ross, who I wrote the song with. It was one of those songs that happened in five minutes. We were jamming, I thought there was something happening. I told Henry to turn the tape machines on and we played it and that was it. You got to try, you got. But what I really want to know is I gonna go my way? And then I went and wrote the lyrics on a brown paper bag, I remember at my loft on Broome Street at the time, went in and sang it the next day, and that was it. Kravitz further explained, I thought the subject matter was really interesting because it’s coming from the mouth of Jesus Christ, as I thought. So basically, are you gonna go my way, meaning my way of love? I had no idea that the song would become what it became. No idea there was nothing on the radio like that. And the recording is so raw it’s ridiculous.
