Landslide was written by Stevie Nicks and reflects on her relationship with Lindsey Buckingham, her bandmate in Fleetwood Mac and partner in life. It was inspired by a moment of decision in her life, considering whether to go back to school or continue her musical career. The song was written while Nicks was in Aspen, Colorado.
