Background
The song was partially written at the time Adams and Vallance were writing for the album Reckless and not completed until the album recording started. Vallance comments on his website that he believes that the sounds were more suited to "Reckless" than "Into the Fire", Adams however believes the song was perfect for the album as it made a direct connection between the two albums for those that liked the previous work.
Live performance
Adams often plays this song at his live concerts with prolonged guitar solo battles between his guitarist Keith Scott. It's a crowd pleaser.
