During the webinar, Shinn also reported that a portion of the song was heavily inspired by the band ''Slayer''. The song also seems to be inspired by Winger's Easy Come Easy Go, with the verse riff on 1 More Hit being very close to the one on Easy Come Easy Go. The art displayed on 1 More Hit's Youtube video is also inspired by Winger's logo and font. | ||
