Nine Lives is the 12th studio album by Aerosmith, released on March 18, 1997, and produced by the band and Kevin Shirley. It was their first Columbia Records release since 1982 and reached number one on the Billboard 200, selling over two million copies. The single "Pink" won a Grammy for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal.
Early recording sessions were held at Criteria Studios in Miami with producer Glen Ballard, who co-wrote some of the album’s songs with Steven Tyler. Other songwriters, including Desmond Child and Taylor Rhodes, also contributed.
During rehearsals, drummer Joey Kramer was battling depression and was temporarily replaced by Steve Ferrone. After returning, Kramer felt rejuvenated, and the band re-recorded some tracks following negative feedback about the early recordings.
