Round and Round

Go "Round and Round" with Ratt's signature glam metal anthem! This iconic smash hit from 1984's Out of the Cellar launched the band with its unforgettable riff and hard rock energy. A defining track of the 80s Sunset Strip scene!

Released in 1984 as the breakthrough single from Ratt's multi-platinum debut Out of the Cellar, "Round and Round" is a defining moment of glam metal. Featuring the dynamic dual-guitar work of Warren DeMartini and Robbin Crosby and Stephen Pearcy's sneering vocals, the song perfectly captured the band's hard-rocking, melodic sound that took over MTV and radio.

Propelled by a hugely popular music video starring comedian Milton Berle, "Round and Round" became Ratt’s signature song in 1984. Its driving beat, infectious chorus, and quintessential glam metal attitude made it an inescapable anthem. This track cemented Ratt’s place as major stars of the 80s hard rock scene, defining their sound.

SONG MEANING: "Round and Round" generally speaks to cyclical situations and persistence, possibly within relationships or life challenges. Lyrics like "What comes around goes around" and "Round and round / With love we'll find a way" suggest inevitability and the recurring nature of certain dynamics, met with a confident, streetwise attitude typical of the band's persona.
