Aerosmith - What It Takes (CHR Remix/Edit) HQ

*All of my videos feature the best sound quality you’ll find anywhere! Thanks for checking out my 90’s channel. “What It Takes“ is a power ballad by American hard rock band Aerosmith. It was written by Steven Tyler, Joe Perry, and Desmond Child. It was released in 1990 as the third single from Aerosmith’s critically and commercially successful 1989 album Pump. In the video The Making of Pump, A&R man John Kalodner described the song as “a masterpiece“. During live performances, Tyler sings the first verse a cappella and belts out one of his signature screams right before the chorus. The single reached #9 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #1 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart.
