"Hole in My Soul" was the second single from Aerosmith's 1997 album Nine Lives, written by Steven Tyler and Joe Perry with Desmond Child, the professional songwriter who had worked with the band for years. Kevin Shirley produced, recorded and mixed it, and while it stalled at 51 on the Billboard Hot 100, it climbed to 4 on Mainstream Rock Tracks and made the Canadian top 10.
Andy Morahan's video plays like a teen movie: a bullied, brainy high schooler (Branden Williams) builds a cloning machine to make himself the perfect girl (Eva Mendes), loses her at a party, loses the next one to a football player (Seann William Scott), and is finally stopped by a classmate (Alexandra Holden) who turns out to be the one for him. On stage, Tyler has been known to swap in racier lyrics.
