Mötley Crüe eased off the throttle for "Home Sweet Home" on Theatre of Pain in 1985, a power ballad that opens with drummer Tommy Lee at the piano. Nikki Sixx wrote the words and shares the music credit with Lee and Vince Neil, and Neil sings it with a worn, road-dusty croon while Mick Mars moves from acoustic strum to electric howl and Sixx anchors it on bass, bass pedals and synthesizer. Tom Werman and Bob Rock carry producer credits, with Duane Baron recording and mixing.

The video turned it into a tour diary, some of it shot live at The Summit in Houston on the Theatre of Pain tour, where the band apparently played it twice in one night to bank more footage. In 1991 it returned remixed with fresh overdubs as "Home Sweet Home '91", with a new video, on the Decade of Decadence compilation.
