"Sweet Child o' Mine" was the album's second U.S. single, a love song co-written by Rose as a poem for his then-girlfriend Erin Everly, daughter of Don Everly of the Everly Brothers.
Texten till albumets nästa singel, "Sweet Child o' Mine", skrevs som en dikt av Rose till hans dåvarande flickvän Erin Everly – Don Everlys dotter.
