Mötley Crüe "Afraid (Single & Video)"

"Afraid" is a song by the American hard rock band Mötley Crüe, released on their 1997 album Generation Swine. A two-track pig promo picture CD includes the 3:56 Swine Mix and 4:10 Rave Mix. Written by bassist Nikki Sixx, the lyrics were inspired by the early stages of his relationship with Donna D'Errico, when he felt she was running away from him out of fear of getting too close. The song charted at number 10 on the Mainstream rock charts. This is the first single featuring Vince Neil on lead vocals since their cover of "Anarchy in the U.K." in 1991.

A video was made to promote the single, and was directed by Nancy Baldawil, and produced by Devin Whatley and Joseph Uliano. The video was filmed in May 1997, and first aired on June 9 of that year. Featured in the video is Hustler Magazine head Larry Flynt.
