Background
Phil Collen, according to a statement on the Rock of Ages and Best Of compilations albums, says that this song was written at Wisseloord Studios while Def Leppard was recording the album Hysteria. It was written by Collen and Steve Clark. This song was not included on Hysteria, since the band thought it was very similar to the song "Hysteria".
Music video
The music video was directed by Matt Mahurin,[2] and features Def Leppard managers Peter Mensch and Cliff Burnstein as a business man and baseball player, respectively. Filming took place on 26 October 1992. The outdoors footage was captured near Central Park in New York City. A censored version blurs the naked couple on the close up scene.
