"Would?" is a song by grunge group Alice in Chains, appearing on their 1992 album Dirt.
The song, written by guitarist Jerry Cantrell, concerns the late lead singer of Mother Love Bone, Andrew Wood, who died of a heroin overdose in 1990.
This first appeared on the soundtrack to the 1992 movie Singles, in which the members of Alice In Chains make a cameo appearance.
Jerry Cantrell on the song, from the liner notes of 1999's Music Bank box set collection: "I was thinking a lot about Andrew Wood (Mother Love Bone frontman) at the time. We always had a great time when we did hang out, much like Chris Cornell and I do. There was never really a serious moment or conversation, it was all fun. Andy was a hilarious guy, full of life and it was really sad to lose him. But I always hate people who judge the decisions others make. So it was also directed towards people who pass judgments."
