Stewart released it as a track on his 1977 album, Foot Loose & Fancy Free.[1] When released as a single, the song performed well, becoming a top 40 hit in various countries, including #5 in the UK and #22 in the US. In the United Kingdom, "I Was Only Joking" charted as part of a double A-side with "Hot Legs".[2] The song is one of Stewart's most loved songs, containing some of his finest sets of lyrics. A heartfelt tale of youth, looked on from a now-mature perspective in regret and sorrow. A long guitar solo features, starting with acoustic then moving to electric. It is seen as one of the best guitar solos in classic rock. Chart performance{{col-begin|width=65%}}{{col-2}}Weekly charts
