In his 2014 autobiography Rocks: My Life In and Out of Aerosmith, Perry recounted that Aerosmith felt betrayed by Collins, as he would pit the members against one another. Further issues occurred in July that year, when the band asked their manager Tim Collins to step down after almost twelve years of partnership. Originally set for a summer release in 1996, the album was delayed, because Columbia Records felt dissatisfied with the nine tracks that Aerosmith and Ballard had produced. We ended up rerecording because people were listening to the tracks and were saying some negative stuff about it and saying the band didn't sound the same." "I came back with a nice perspective on what I bring to the table in Aerosmith," Kramer reflected. Steve Ferrone was brought in to play drums until Kramer was able to return. With Kramer unavailable, rumors began to circulate that the band would disband. Only a week before rehearsals, drummer Joey Kramer was suffering from depression, having grieved the loss of his father a few years prior. Child previously collaborated with Aerosmith on such hits as " Angel," " Crazy" and " Dude (Looks like a Lady)." Other collaborators, including Desmond Child and Taylor Rhodes, joined Tyler and guitarist Joe Perry to write songs.
There, Steven Tyler and Ballard co-wrote the lyrics for " Falling in Love (Is Hard on the Knees)", " Taste of India" and " Pink".
Early recordings took place at Criteria Studios in Miami, Florida, where the band worked with producer Glen Ballard.
