The story behind the song

This power ballad from Mötley Crüe's Dr. Feelgood album is said to be about Tommy Lee's relationship with Heather Locklear. The composition features Mick Mars' steel guitar in the intro and solo, alongside clean electric arpeggios and distorted licks throughout. It's a song that channels the raw emotion and personal connection at the heart of a rock and roll romance.
