Big comeback hit for Chrissie Hynde and band, almost a decade since they'd previously had a charting single in the UK or US, this was one of thier biggest hits in both country's. #9 CHR pop, #16 hot 100, #10 UK.
I adore this song. Such a wonderful statement of friendship and love.

I like it.
The Hot AC station here has murdered this with overplay since it came out though.

I dug it: beautiful and melancholic song. It does receive a lot of recurrent airplay on the Hot AC stations, though.

It's alright.. a bit annoying. I don't really like her voice... maybe if somebody remade it I would like it better.

I hated it. Plus the song had to torture me by falling from 33-34 in its second week and of course I thought it was done. It ends up rallying all the way into the top 10.  . |

Absolutely love it. The perfect song for any two people who have loved and been there for one another through thick and thin no matter what.

I never really cared for this song. I loved the cover by Girls Aloud though. It seemed more fitting but maybe I'm alone on this one.

Not a fan. They have so many better songs. In fact, they even have better schlocky songs.

I don't hate it but it was overplayed on the AC stations (such as Lite FM 93.9, 100.3, and 101.9 the Mix) and I think WXRT played it too when I was younger. This song tends to show up on commercials as well. My favorite Pretenders songs are "My City Was Gone" and "Brass in Pocket".
