"Sweet Emotion" is a song by the American rock band Aerosmith, released in 1975 on their third studio album Toys in the Attic by Columbia Records.

[3] "Sweet Emotion" remains a staple track of both classic rock and Aerosmith's discography, as well as their live performances.

36 on the U.S. chart, July 19, 1975, Aerosmith was booked at a gig in New York City's Central Park, called the Schaefer Music Festival.

[8] "Sweet Emotion" remains successful in the modern day, having sold over three million digital downloads.

[10] Cash Box said that with "Sweet Emotion" "Aerosmith explodes with inspired harmony, virtuosity in some searing guitar licks, and powerful production by Jack Douglas.

"[11] Many Aerosmith fans believe that Steven Tyler wrote all of the lyrics to the song about the tension and hatred between the band members and Joe Perry's first wife.

It was stated in Aerosmith's tell-all autobiography Walk This Way and in an episode of Behind the Music that growing feuds between the band members' wives (including an incident involving "spilt milk" where Elyssa Perry threw milk over Tom Hamilton's wife, Terry) may have helped lead to the band's original lineup dissolving in the early 1980s.

The song kicks into a more rocking rhythm with dueling guitars, and rapid-fire angry-sounding lyrics sung by Tyler.

This edit was used for the original single release of the song, which was replaced in subsequent pressings with the album version from Toys in the Attic.

[17] The song has been prominently used in several movies, including the opening scene of the 1993 American coming-of-age comedy film Dazed and Confused and a scene of the 2013 American comedy film We're the Millers, where Jennifer Aniston's stripper character Rose O'Reilly performs a strip routine.

The video, directed by Marty Callner, shows a young man under his covers with a magazine which is advertising a phone sex line.

At the very end, both the phone sex operator and the young man are shown to be very different from each other's perceptions; she is an overweight older woman with a baby living in a rundown house, and he is a teenage boy.
