Chemical Heart

The song was written as a tribute to Jess Michalik who was crushed to death at the Sydney Big Day Out in 2001 during the Limp Bizkit set. [1] "Chemical Heart" was the first single released from Grinspoon's third studio album New Detention in 2002. It was a surprising change for fans because the grunge rock band had released ballads before, but they had never released one as their first single, and most people were expecting a hard rocking song like the later released single "Lost Control". The single marked a change in the band that could be seen after the year-long break they took from touring and recording, this time working with the record label Sony Universal, a joint venture with Sony BMG and Universal Music Group, instead of their low-key indie label Grudge Records.
