Album: Mirrorball (2011)
Play Video

Songfacts®:

  • Def Leppard's first single from their 2011 live album, Mirrorball, was debuted on April 12, 2011 exclusively on Planet Rock's Rob Birnie Show. So how come Planet Rock got the song's first play? Probably connected with the fact that the band's vocalist, Joe Elliott, has his very own Saturday evening show on the channel.
  • The song was composed by Joe Elliott, who described it to Billboard magazine as having "a very Queen-type vocal thing. It even features piano and stuff."
  • Mirrorball is the band's first live album, and this is one of three brand new studio recordings on the disc, the others being "All About Believin','" and "Kings of the World." "When we decided to do (the live album), it just got said — I don't know by who — 'Why don't we chuck a couple of new songs on the end?' " Elliott told Billboard magazine. "And that two became three, and in fairness it could've been four if we'd just had a little bit more time."
