## Key points

- Ozzy Osbourne's breakthrough 1991 solo track emerged from unplanned studio improvisation rather than deliberate composition
- The song's success came from pairing his newly sober, focused approach with a naturally light and spontaneous musical arrangement
- It sold over 4 million copies, suggesting the relaxed creative process enhanced rather than hindered the final product
