"Coming of Age" was the opening shot from Damn Yankees, the self-titled 1990 debut by the hard rock supergroup, and the first single off the Warner Bros. record. Jack Blades, Ted Nugent and Tommy Shaw wrote it together, and Ron Nevison produced and engineered it.
It's a straight-ahead, guitar-first rocker, no apologies and no frills, and rock radio played it hard; it also reached number 60 on the Billboard Hot 100. It sat alongside "High Enough" and "Come Again" among the hits on an album that went double platinum.
