Nicks wrote "Landslide" while she was financially supporting both herself and Buckingham by taking up jobs as both a waitress and a cleaning lady.

Nicks wrote the song while visiting Aspen, Colorado, sitting in someone's living room "looking out at the Rocky Mountains pondering the avalanche of everything that had come crashing down on us ... at that moment, my life truly felt like a landslide in many ways.

"[6] Buckingham told The Austin Chronicle in 2007 that the song addressed some of the interpersonal issues that he was having with Nicks at the time.

In a contemporary review, Rolling Stone wrote that Nicks seemed "lost and out of place" on "Landslide" and that her voice sounded "callow and mannered".

The new version was a hit, making it to the top three on the Modern Rock Tracks chart in the United States that year and No.

American country music group the Dixie Chicks released a cover of "Landslide" on 26 August 2002 as the second single from their 2002 album, Home.

The cast of Fox Broadcasting Company's musical television program, Glee, performed the song in Season 2, Episode 15, "Sexy".

Stevie Nicks attended the filming of the song and stated that it was a "beautiful mix" of the original and the Chicks version.
