Chris Cornell's "Patience" reaches back to a Guns N' Roses ballad from G N' R Lies, their 1988 record, and it turned up in December 2020 on No One Sings Like You Anymore. The songwriting credit is split five ways, among Steven Adler, Duff McKagan, Axl Rose, Slash and Izzy Stradlin, though McKagan has said the idea that grew into the song's story and melody was Axl's, and that it arrived seemingly out of nowhere.
On Cornell's recording, Tom Syrowski engineered and Brendan O'Brien handled the mix.
