“Drops of Jupiter (Tell Me)” was the lead single from Train’s second studio album, Drops of Jupiter, released in 2001. Taking the music industry by storm, the song catapulted Train from obscurity to rock superstardom, winning the Grammy for the “Best Rock Song” in 2002.

Though this song can be interpreted in a number of different ways, Train’s lead singer Pat Monahan explained in a VH-1 interview that the song was inspired by the death of his mother, who battled lung cancer for many years.

"Her downfall was Coca-Cola and Winstons."
