Joe Perry and Steven Tyler of Aerosmith wrote this song with Jim Vallance, a Canadian songwriter who also co-wrote "Rag Doll" and "Young Lust." They put the song together in Vallance's basement studio. The jungle rhythm came about after Tyler started banging away on a keyboard. Perry came up with a guitar riff, and Valance added a guitar phrase. The song's rhythms were played on Polynesian log drums. Six musicians were brought in to play them.
