Three versions of the song appear on Retro Active; the acoustic version (4:04), which was released as the single, the electric version (4:56), which was one of the bonus tracks for the Japanese pressing of Adrenalize along with "She's Too Tough", before both were remixed for Retro Active, and the piano version which is featured as a hidden track on the Retro Active album. It is played after the electric version of "Two Steps Behind".
The single peaked at number 39 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and was Def Leppard's last American top 40 single to date.
