Savannah Outen And Jake Coco – “I Don’t Wanna Miss A Thing” (Aerosmith Piano Cover)

I Don’t Wanna Miss One Smile!

“I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing” was written by Diane Warren. It was released on August 18, 1998 as a soundtrack to the movie Armageddon. Aerosmith performed two other songs for the film including “What Kind of Love Are You On” and “Sweet Emotion.” This eventually became the band’s biggest hit.

• Certified Platinum in the UK and US
• Number 1 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and US Mainstream Top 40 (Billboard)

Giving his thoughts on having a cover song become Aerosmith’s biggest hit, guitarist Joe Perry explained to Classic Rock magazine in 2002: “At the time, we just didn’t have the time to settle down and do it. We were out on the road, so they brought us in to see the movie and said ‘here’s the song, this is where it fits into the movie, you can do it if you want.’ So we were in the studio within the next three days cutting it. And yeah, we do wish that we’d had a little more time, so that we could have had a shot at writing it, but it was perfect timing. The song was great, people loved it, and I don’t think people care that much who wrote it.”

This power ballad was originally written for Celine Dion. This song debuted at the top spot of U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and in September, stayed at number 1 for four weeks. In 1999, it bagged the Best Song from a Movie from the MTV Movie Awards. It basically helped Aerosmith earn a plethora of fans from a new generation.

The video was highly successful and greatly contributed to the song’s success, receiving heavy airplay on MTV and went on to become the 2nd most popular video of 1998 only behind Brandy and Monica’s “The Boy is Mine”. It also won awards for MTV Video Music Award for Best Video from a Film, and Best Video at Boston Music Awards.
