Former Rolling Stones guitarist Mick Taylor played the guitar solo in the song.[3] One of the backing vocalists featured on the Up Your Alley album was Louie Merlino, later the founder of the band Beggars & Thieves.
The song received a nomination for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal at the 31st Grammy Awards.
A cover of The Troggs' song "I Can't Control Myself" was featured as a B-side on the CD single, a non-album track.[4]
The song was adapted for NBC Sunday Night Football, named "Waiting All Day for Sunday Night" with Carrie Underwood (previously Pink and Faith Hill) on vocal and Joan Jett on guitar.
The song was used in the opening scene of Harley Quinn moving on after her breakup with the Joker in Birds of Prey and for the Season 5 trailer for Big Mouth.
Taiwanese amateur composer Pei-Li Sun had extracted the chorus of this song for his solo work for Zhongruan named Zhongruan Rock, written in 1993 and revised on 2008.[5]
