"FINE" is a song by rock band Aerosmith. It was written by lead singer Steven Tyler and lead guitarist Joe Perry. The song title is an acronym for "Fucked Up, Insecure, Neurotic, and Emotional", as stated in the album's liner notes. The song, totaling four minutes, nine seconds, is the second track on the band's 1989 album Pump. It was released as a promotional single to rock radio in 1989, and reached No. 14 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart. Song information "F.I.N.E." is an upbeat, hard rock song, similar to "Young Lust" both lyrically and musically. Its raunchy lyrics focus on youth angst and lasciviousness, and the verses feature the line "I'm ready" after each line, suggesting sexual arousal, or being "ready" for sex. Tongue-in-cheek lyrics are prevalent, including "she's got the Cracker Jack, now all I want's the prize", "I got the right key baby, but the wrong keyhole", "I shove my tongue right between your cheeks", etc. The chorus repeats the word "Alright", followed by a person who thinks the narrator is alright, including "your daddy", "your mama", "my old lady", "my little sister", "my brother", "even Tipper" (a reference to Tipper Gore who headed the Parents Music Resource Center censorship campaign during this time), and "Joe Perry" (a reference to Aerosmith's lead guitarist). The song uses a "loose verse/tight chorus" structure, whereby the verses use a pentatonic melody that sometimes clashes with the chords that make up the harmony, while in the chorus the melody and harmony are more tightly coordinated and the non-chord notes resolve. The only mentions of the term "F.I.N.E." are in the line "my brand new baby looks so F-I-N-E fine" and in a bridge towards the end of the song, where Tyler sings, "Everything about you is so F-I-N-E fine". Later on the Pump album, in "What It Takes", is the line, "Girl, before I met you I was F-I-N-E fine". F.I.N.E. was one of the potential titles brainstormed for the album that became Pump, but was blocked by Geffen A&R man John Kalodner. If one looks closely at the trucks on the front cover, the word FINE can be seen on their side. "F.I.N.E." – "Such a good fuckin' song!" said Tyler – ends with a snippet of the singer doing a variation on a line from "Hangman Jury" from Permanent Vacation. The song emerged from some jamming between Tyler
