Background and composition
Leer másBegun early in 1993, "You Got Me Rocking" was initially a blues flavoured number; bootlegs have Jagger and Richards working the song as a slower, blues flavoured ramble, with Jagger shouting the hook "you got me rocking". Changed to a straightforward rocker in the vein of "Start Me Up", the song quickly evolved as Richards made the transition from piano to guitar. The lyrics moved to a more upbeat tone, as singer Mick Jagger presents redemption from a series of career ending instances of various professionals:
I was a hooker losing her looks; I was a writer can`t write another book;
I was all dried up dying to get wet; I was a tycoon drowning in debt.
The lyrics can be interpreted as an answer to the Rolling Stones` critics, who often deride the band for their advancing age. Recording on "You Got Me Rocking" lasted from mid-summer to early winter 1993, when final touches were put on.
Live performances
"You Got Me Rocking" is notable as one of the few latter-day songs from the band`s career to remain on their setlist long after being released. The song was performed some 50 times during the 2005–2006 A Bigger Bang Tour.
B-side
The B-side is the little-known "Jump on Top of Me", which also appears on the soundtrack to Prêt-? -Porter. "You Got Me Rocking" appeared on the soundtrack to The Replacements in 2000.
