The commercial use of the song comes about after Courtney Love sold 25% of her stake in the Nirvana catalogue to Primary Wave Music Publishing last year.

Nirvana frontman, and the song’s writer, Kurt Cobain originally said the song was about “Getting into Middle America. Marrying at age 18, getting pregnant, stuck with a baby – and not wanting it.”
