Sony/Legacy“I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing” Aerosmith’s
"I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" Aerosmith recorded for the theme song for the 1998 science fiction disaster film Armageddon, in which lead singer Steven Tyler's daughter, Liv Tyler, starred in a big role.
The power ballad was written by Diane Warren, with the intention of "Celine Dion" to sing it at first.
The song wasn't on any of Aerosmith's albums, just on the movie soundtrack, but it was released as a single.
It subsequently debuted at number one on the Billboard Hot 100, the band's first and only number-one single, remaining at the top for four weeks.
