The song was written by vocalist and guitarist Jimi Hendrix and titled to reflect his pronunciation of "child" without the "d" (a spelling subsequently used for " Voodoo Chile"). Biographers Harry Shapiro and Caesar Glebbeek describe it as "a joyful autobiographical stomp" about the pursuit of the American Dream.

The song is also included on several Hendrix compilations, such as the UK edition of ''Smash Hits'' (1968), '' War Heroes'' (1972), and '' Experience Hen ...
