In the video's closing moments, Steven Tyler is driving a Shelby Cobra down Hamilton Street in Johnson City.
The song was written by Steven Tyler, Joe Perry, Jim Vallance, and Holly Knight.
The song's lyrics were primarily written by Tyler and Vallance, Perry originating the guitar riff, and Vallance writing the bass line.
The song was originally titled "Rag Time" but John Kalodner did not like that, so Holly Knight was called in to help change that lyric. She suggested "Rag Doll", which was actually another title Tyler and Vallance had considered.
In 1988, it peaked at #17 on the Billboard Hot 100, #12 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart, and #42 on the UK charts.
