What it is
"Make It Go Away (Radiation Song)" is a track on Sheryl Crow's 2008 album Detours, which she recorded shortly after finishing breast cancer treatment. Crow has said the song is about having cancer and the disbelief of a healthy person facing a diagnosis, and that the album as a whole reflects on how little control we have over our lives. She has said the song became a kind of mantra for her.
