The album was a tribute to The Who's former drummer Keith Moon. The song was released as a single in November 1985 on Atlantic Records.

The single reached number 86 on the US Hot 100 singles chart and number 11 on Billboard's Top Rock Tracks chart.^[1]

Background

When Jim Vallance was asked about the track, he recalled that they wrote the song during January 1984 and that: "Adams and I originally wrote "Let Me Down Easy" for Stevie Nicks, but I don't know if she ever heard the song. Regardless, I thought Roger did a superb job."^[2]
