"Jane Says" is a song by American rock band Jane's Addiction. It was released as a promotional single in 1988, becoming the band's first chart entry on the Alternative Songs chart, peaking at #6.[1]
It was first released in semi-live format on the group's 1987 debut album, Jane's Addiction. It was re-recorded in the studio for the follow-up album, Nothing's Shocking. The Nothing's Shocking version is the most widely known version of the song, featuring steel drums that are not present on the cut from the self-titled album. A true live version appears on the band's 1997 new/live/out-take compilation Kettle Whistle.
It is one of Jane's Addiction's most famous songs and frequently ends their concerts.
