Jaded (Aerosmith song)

"Jaded" is a song by American hard rock band Aerosmith. It was written by Steven Tyler and Marti Frederiksen. It was released on December 21, 2000^{[citation needed]} as the first single from the album Just Push Play. The song was debuted publicly at the American Music Awards and was also played at the halftime show for Super Bowl XXXV in January 2001. It was ranked No. 86 on VH1's 100 Greatest Songs of the 00's.^[1]

Lyrical interpretation and song structure

The song's lyrics are about a girl who is "jaded", and how the relationship the narrator has with the girl is sometimes "complicated", but repeatedly claims that "I'm the one that jaded you."

The song features jangling guitars and a danceable drum beat and bass rhythm.

Cover artwork

The single's artwork was somewhat controversial, featuring a naked girl holding an apple on the cover. The model in the artwork is Nicole West.

Music video

The video for "Jaded" features Aerosmith performing in the Lobby of the Los Angeles Theater, and random clips of a "Jaded" girl (actress Mila Kunis). The song tells a story of a girl who has lost the ability to feel due to losing touch with reality.

The Los Angeles Theater 1931 is a Movie Palace in Downtown Los Angeles and is extravagantly designed in the French Rococo Style. The video also features the Ballroom/Lounge, the Landing on the way to the Ballroom, Auditorium, and the Mezzanine Hallway. The Hallway shot uses either a mirror, or special effects, to multiply the doors and make the hallway seem endless.

There are two versions of the video, much of the footage is the same, though used in slightly different places, and some shots have alternate angles. Here are a few noticeable differences:

Place	Version 1	Version 2
Opening	Zoom in on stage quickly	Zoom in on stage slowly
Middle	Steven Tyler blows into camera	Horse statue blows into camera
Forest interlude	Steven Tyler is not shown when the music starts	Steven Tyler is shown when the music starts

The video premiered on MTV on February 13, 2001 and was directed by Francis Lawrence. The video was awarded Best Hard Rock Clip of the Year at the Billboard Music Video Awards, and Video of the Year at the Boston Music Awards.
