You can’t overthink something like thissongbecause it kills the spirit. When we got into pre-production, ‘Call Off The Dogs’came together fairly quickly –just jam it and that's basically it. And it was probably the last thing that we recorded in the studio. MYLES KENNEDYadds, “’Call Off The Dogs’ has that up-tempo vibe that helps elevate a record in a lot of ways, especially for rock fans. They want those songs. We needed a chorus section for it, so I messed with it a bit and sent it to Slash, and he took it to the next level and made it his own. Lyrically, it’s about that point where you wave the white flag and give in to someone after being pursued relentlessly.”
