Song information
In a statement on the Rock of Ages: The Definitive Collection and Best of Def Leppard compilation albums, the band's lead singer Joe Elliott described the song's backing vocals on the chorus sounded much like The Beach Boys, and said that it was the first time Def Leppard went that far. He also described the song as being "More Queen than Queen". According to Elliott, the guitar riff had existed for years and lead guitarist Phil Collen said that parts of it were taken from the song "Armageddon It".

Video
According to a Joe Elliott statement on the Rock of Ages: The Definitive Collection, Best of Def Leppard and Vault: Def Leppard Greatest Hits (1980-1995) compilation albums, he hated the music video.
