"Ends" was the second single from Whitey Ford Sings the Blues, Everlast's second album, out on Tommy Boy in 1998, and it shows off the record's odd, winning mix: a hip-hop swagger riding on a guitar Everlast plays himself, with a bluesy grit he makes sound like the most natural thing in the world. He wrote it with Dante Ross, who produced it with John Gamble, and Nightrain Merlot on bass and Bronx Style Bob on backing vocals fill out the groove.
Rock radio took to it: it went to 7 on Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks chart and 13 on the Mainstream Rock chart.
