Information AboutI Don't Want To Miss A Thing |
"I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" is a hit single by American Rock band Aerosmith . It was taken from the '' Armageddon '' Soundtrack and debuted at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 (the band's first ever such song after 28 years together). The song stayed at number one for four weeks from September 5 to September 26 , 1998 , introducing Aerosmith to a new generation of fans. The song also stayed at #1 for several weeks in several other countries. The song rose steadily up the charts in the UK , peaking at number four in November 1998 and becoming Aerosmith's highest charting song in the UK to date. "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" was written primarily by the credited songwriter, Diane Warren , although band member Joe Perry helped Warren in the songwriting process. This song was almost never created. The band was originally approached to contribute to the soundtrack for the movie Armageddon , and they initially refused. It was only when Liv Tyler , lead singer Steven Tyler 's daughter, landed a part in the film that they decided to record the song as a favor to her. The song was nominated for both an Academy Award For Best Song and a Razzie Award for Worst Original Song. It remains one of Aerosmith's most popular songs. VIDEO The music video for this song was shot in the Minneapolis Armory . TRACKLIST CD Single #"I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" (4:58) #"Taste of India" (Rock Remix) (5:52) CHARTS Aerosmith
