It reached number one on Billboard magazine's Modern Rock Tracks chart in mid-1996. It was the last song by a female solo artist to top this chart until "Royals" by Lorde in August 2013, by which time the chart had been renamed Billboard Alternative Songs.[1] The song was particularly successful in Australia, where it reached number five on the ARIA Singles Chart, received a Gold certification from ARIA, and became Australia's 46th best-selling single of 1996. The song also reached number three on the Canadian RPM Alternative 30, number six in Norway, and the top 40 in the Netherlands and New Zealand. LyricsThe song's lyrics resemble a telephone call by a young woman to her mother. The verses detail her experiences with several mundane aspects of her daily life but then the chorus provides an uglier, darker contrast with Bonham screaming the lyrics, leading up to the climactic lines "I'm freezing, I'm starving, I'm bleeding to death, everything's fine! I miss you, I love you..." Music videosTwo music videos were shot for the song and were used on both MTV and VH-1: One video, directed by Jake Scott, was shot for MTV featuring an older woman (Bonham's real life mother) turning on the television on which Tracy's image is singing as the woman proceeds to clean the room. The backing band is seen as well playing in an adjoining dining room. The video had a disjointed quality about it and was perfect for the tone of MTV (which was still playing alternative rock at the time). A second video was shot for more family-friendly VH-1 in which the entire band including Bonham are in a large clothes closet as she sings into a mirror and then quick shots of her are shown playfully trying on different kinds of women's clothes.
