A música foi lançada em 1981, fazendo parte do álbum "Tattoo You".
É frequentemente usada para abrir os shows ao vivo dos Rolling Stones.
A faixa inicia-se com um riff que se tornou marca registrada de Keith Richards, apoiado pelo backbeat constante de Charlie Watts e pelo baixo ecoante de Bill Wyman.
O guitarrista Ronnie Wood pode ser ouvido claramente tocando uma variação em camadas do riff principal de Richards, e versões ao vivo costumam estender a música com um solo dele no meio.
Ela alcançou a sétima posição nas paradas de singles do Reino Unido em agosto de 1981, sendo o último_single_ da banda a entrar no Top 10 britânico até a data da referência.
Nos Estados Unidos, a música permaneceu três semanas na segunda posição da Billboard Hot 100 e liderou a parada Billboard Top Tracks por 13 semanas.
