A abertura característica de “Gimme Shelter” foi criada por Keith Richards em Londres, enquanto Mick Jagger trabalhava no filme *Performance*.
A canção foi descrita por Jagger em entrevista à *Rolling Stone* em 1995 como um “canto do fim do mundo”, refletindo a violência da era da Guerra do Vietnã.
O ritmo começa com um riff de guitarra rítmica de Richards antes da entrada da voz principal de Jagger, definindo o estilo de rocker de médio tempo da faixa.
“Gimme Shelter” foi incluída na trilha sonora de *Casino* (1995), de Martin Scorsese, contribuindo para a ambientação da época retratada no filme.
