The song stands out as one of a few in the group’s catalog co-written by Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley. This upbeat anthem effectively set the tone for KISS.

It has impressively amassed hundreds of millions of streams, appeared in classic video game franchises such as “Grand Theft Auto” and “Guitar Hero”, and would later be covered by everyone from EXTREME to VITAMIN STRING QUARTET.Also, KISS and Disco Lines collaborated on a new remix of one of the band’s most iconic songs “I Was Made For Lovin’ You”.
