The song's composition was influenced by Elton John's 1973 opus “ Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding”. According to Slash, Axl wrote the song “about a time someone bent his fingers back like he was a little baby.” It was the longest song ever to reach the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 until November 2021, when surpassed by Taylor Swift's extended rerecording of " All Too Well". "November Rain" is the third-longest song by Guns N' Roses, behind " Coma" (10:14) from the same album, and " Estranged" (9:24) from Use Your Illusion II.
