Musicians Paul Stanley and Vinnie Vincent composed the song.
Due to its popularity among fans, Kiss has performed the song over 1,500 times as of December 2024, making it one of the group's top ten most-played pieces.
The video premiered on MTV on September 18, 1983, in a half-hour special hosted by J. J. Jackson.
While a few others have been played in limited to rare occasions over the years, it is the only song from the band's unmasked era that has been regularly played live as a setlist staple since they returned to wearing their trademark makeup in 1996.
The American trade publication Cash Box stated that "high lead and backup vocals over a slowly throbbing guitar and drum rhythm set up an instructive lesson in feeling good."
