"I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" is a power ballad by American rock band Aerosmith. It appeared on the soundtrack to the film Armageddon and debuted at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 (a first for the band after 28 years together). The song stayed at number one for four weeks from September 5 to September 26, 1998, introducing Aerosmith to a new generation of fans. The song also stayed at #1 for several weeks in several other countries. The song rose steadily up the charts in the United Kingdom, peaking at number four in November 1998 and becoming Aerosmith's highest charting song in the UK to date.
"I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" was written primarily by Diane Warren. She stated in her compilation album Diane Warren Presents Love Songs that the song was originally meant for Celine Dion.
The video begins with shots of the moon and several meteorites passing by and then a view of earth before zooming in to show Steven Tyler singing. The shots interchange between the band and Mission Control viewing the band singing via their monitors. As the video progresses it reveals that the band is playing in front of what appears to be the fictional Space Shuttle Freedom. Along with Aerosmith, a full hand orchestra plays in sync with the melody. Smoke surrounds the orchestra and Aerosmith as Freedom takes off from the launch pad. Finally, the screen goes out as a tearful Grace touches one of the monitors to reach out to her father (real life father Steven Tyler in the video; on-screen father Harry Stamper, played by Bruce Willis, in the film).
During the filming of the video for "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing", Steven Tyler was still recovering from a leg injury sustained during the Nine Lives Tour and thus he does not move much in the video.
The song was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Song in 1999. The song was also nominated in the Worst "Original" Song category at the 19th Golden Raspberry Awards 1998.
The song helped open Aerosmith up to a new generation and remains a slow dance staple. Former American Idol judge Simon Cowell labeled the song "one of the great songs of all time" during the show's seventh season. It remains one of Aerosmith's most popular songs.
The song appeared on the Argentine version of the album Nine Lives. It also appeared on the Japanese version of Just Push Play.

In late 1998, country music artist Mark Chesnutt recorded a cover version of the song. His rendition is the first single from, and title track to, his 1999 album I Don't Want to Miss a Thing. Chesnutt's cover spent two weeks at number one on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks (now Hot Country Songs) charts in early 1999, and is the last of his eight Number Ones on that chart. It is also the first of only two singles in his career to reach the Billboard Hot 100, where it peaked at #17 in early 1999.
