This was AC/DC's first new single in eight years, their longest gap to date. Black Ice debuted at the top of the album chart selling 784,000 copies the first week. It was AC/DC's first chart-topping release in the US since For Those About To Rock in 1981.
This song was one of four tracks on Black Ice that featured the word 'Rock' in the title, the others being "She Likes Rock 'n' Roll," "Rock 'n' Roll Dream" and "Rocking All the Way." Vocalist Brian Johnson explained to Vancouver 24 Hours: "I just think we're trying to tell people that normal service has been resumed. We're back, and this is a rock 'n' roll record. It cannot be mistaken. We're ramming it down their throat, me son! But I must admit, we didn't notice. We went, 'F---ing hell, there's four songs with rock 'n' roll in the title.' But that's just what we do."
This featured in promo ads for season 4 of the CBS crime drama Criminal Minds plus in Episode 69 of the show.
