It was released in 1988 as the third single from the band's 1987 album Permanent Vacation. It quickly climbed to No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100,[2] which at the time was their highest charting single ever. The song currently ranks second behind the 1998 smash "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing", which was Aerosmith's first (and, as of 2021, only) single to top the Hot 100.[2]
