According to the book "What'd I Say: The Atlantic Story", Atlantic Records intended to release "Other Arms" as a single, but Plant refused, not wanting to be pigeonholed as a hard rock artist.

Both became top-ten hits on the  Mainstream Rock chart and top-fifty hits on the "Billboard" Hot 100. Despite not being released as a single, "Other Arms" became a number-one hit on the Mainstream Rock chart. It reached the number-one spot on August 13, 1983, ending the 9-week chart-topping run of "Every Breath You Take" by The Police. The song was written by Plant and guitarist Robbie Blunt. The lyrics do not include the song's title; instead the chorus features the repeated line "lay down your arms".
