The track was recorded during the Are You Experienced sessions with Jimi Hendrix, Noel Redding and Mitch Mitchell. The album sessions took place at London studios including De Lane Lea, CBS and Olympic with Chas Chandler producing. Released on Are You Experienced in 1967, it became one of the early Experience recordings that showcased Hendrix explosive guitar style and Mitchell driving drums. The song was later issued as a single in the United States in 1969 and reached number 35 on the Billboard Hot 100. It remains one of Hendrix most enduring uptempo recordings and a staple of his live legacy. The song has been covered by artists including Red Hot Chili Peppers and Five by Five.
