What It Takes

"What It Takes" is a song by American rock band Aerosmith. Written by Steven Tyler, Joe Perry, and Desmond Child, the power ballad was released in February 1990 as the third single from their 10th album, Pump (1989). "I'll put some ballads on an album," Tyler remarked, "if that's what it takes so that some young kid can get to hear a 'Young Lust' or 'F.I.N.E.*'." "What It Takes" gave Aerosmith their second number-one single on the US Billboard Album Rock Tracks chart and finished 1990 as that chart's most successful single.
