It's a complete mess of a song.
I mean, that was kind of its intent to be like an assault, he's clearly angry and trying to make like a kind of heavy-metal-esque psycho rant of a song... but, doesn't work all that well..
The beat is kind of badass in the sense, that melody sounds instantly familiar and memorable...
But some of those punch lines are beyond awful. I mean I think the 'monopoly board' one from "No Love" takes the cake of awful punchlines on Recovery but "Won't Back Down" is pretty awful in terms of how much he overexplains himself or contrives words to get to one simple line...
There are some badass lines and flow moments too, it's just so hit and miss and noisy though.
Easily my least favourite and I think the worst song on Recovery.
