Steven Tyler Says New Solo Single Was Aerosmith 'Reject'

Steven Tyler has revealed that his debut solo single was initially written for Aerosmith but rejected by the rest of the group.

The track, entitled '(It) Feels So Good', is due to be given its world video premiere on Thursday (May 12) on American Idol, on which Tyler is one of the judges.

It was written by Tyler and long-time collaborator Marti Frederiksen and recorded in Los Angeles.

He told Rolling Stone: "I swear it's going to be a hit. I can hear it coming out of people's cars this summer. I'm a fool for melody, man. I've got to have melody. I miss it, and there it is."

Asked why he didn't give it to Aerosmith, Tyler replied: "They didn't like it, so I just kept it for the last couple of years."

Tyler has been praised since he was unveiled as one of the American Idol judges earlier this year.
