Regarding this song (and other matters), Steven Tyler was quoted as saying, "The only difference between pink and purple is the grip."
In 1999, this won a Grammy for Best Rock Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal. It was the fourth time Aerosmith won that award; Grammy voters didn't warm to the band until the '90s, when they gave them the trophy for "Janie's Got A Gun."
Steven Tyler wrote this with help from Richie Supa and Glen Ballard; it's a rare Aerosmith song with no Joe Perry writing credit. Supa is a friend of the band was also co-wrote the Aerosmith hit "Amazing"; Ballard also co-wrote the Nine Lives track "Falling in Love (Is Hard on the Knees)." In a Songfacts interview with Ballard, he explained that the band was sober during this time, so they got their "high" from coffee, drinking lots of espresso.
