"Home Sweet Home" is a song by the American glam metal band Mötley Crüe originally released on their 1985 album, Theatre of Pain. The song was accompanied by a music video which documented the band's undertakings over the course of a concert, or several concerts. "Home Sweet Home" was later remixed and re-released as a single in 1991, as "Home Sweet Home '91." This version featured on the band's Decade of Decadence compilation album. The song is often referred to as a power ballad.[1]
The original release of "Home Sweet Home" charted at #89 on the Billboard Hot 100, and "Home Sweet Home '91" charted at #37.[2] To date, "Home Sweet Home '91" is the last Mötley Crüe song to chart in the American Top 40.
