The song was a worldwide hit, reaching number two on the American Hot 100 in early 1990 and number two in the United Kingdom in 1989. The Belgian studio-based music project was a landmark release for EBM and new beat. It was the first house song, a music-genre originating from Chicago, to break into the mainstream in the US.

Writing credits for the song are shared by Don Felder, Don Henley, and Glenn Frey.


The Eagles' original recording of the song features Henley singing the lead vocals and concludes with an extended section of electric guitar interplay between Felder and Joe Walsh. The song has been given several interpretations by fans and critics alike, but the Eagles have described it as their "interpretation of the high life in Los Angeles".
