Lyrically, Sixx says the song is about the fatigue the band felt from endless touring. "Those lyrics were born out of being exhausted on the road and getting back to L.A." Chester Bennington later said, "The chance to perform with these guys for such a great cause is something really special. Hopefully, people will embrace it in the way it was intended. The song really does fit the sentiment and something special happened when we pulled it together. Everyone felt as if they were doing something really important." The song was remixed for the original promotion for the single in 1985 and sent to radio stations on a radio only promo 12" vinyl. This remix wasn't commercially released until 1988, when it was included in the Japan-only EP Raw Tracks.

The song was re-recorded by Linkin Park vocalist Chester Bennington on co-lead vocals along with Mötley Crüe in the wake of Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Scheduled for a concert in Nashville on September 10 as part of their "Carnival Of Sins" world tour, Mötley Crüe was anxious to do their part to help raise funds for the victims of Hurricane Katrina. Upon learning that MTV/VH1/CMT's "ReAct Now" benefit concert was being broadcast from Nashville that same day, they joined the effort immediately. Following their performance, the band and Chester went into Nashville's Ocean Way Studio to record a special version of "Home Sweet Home". Studio manager Glenda Cones put the session together in record time.The single was produced by Grammy-winning producer Desmond Child and accompanied by a full, 26-person gospel choir and string arrangement section. Allen Kovac of Tenth Street Management served as executive producer.

In addition, The Orchard supplied the single through its distribution partnerships with the leading mobile companies around the world, the largest mobile network of any distributor, spanning over 200 global services including Sprint, Dwango Wireless, Zingy, 9 Squared, IAM Mobile, Arvato Mobile and Hudson Soft. One hundred percent of the proceeds were donated by the artists and The Orchard and evenly split between American Red Cross Hurricane Relief Effort and Mercy Corps. The song was remixed again in 1991 and had some instruments overdubbed. This version, called "Home Sweet Home ('91 Remix)" but commonly referred to as "Home Sweet Home '91", was released on the band's first compilation album Decade Of Decadence and also released as a single to promote the album.
"Home Sweet Home" is a power ballad by the American heavy metal band Mötley Crüe, originally released in 1985 on the album Theatre Of Pain. The song was re-recorded with additional vocals by Chester Bennington in 2005 for a benefit single. The song was re-recorded by Linkin Park vocalist Chester Bennington on co-lead vocals along with Mötley Crüe in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. The music video for the song shows videos of Katrina rescues, along with a performance from the band. Nikki Sixx originally crafted the riff when he was 17, but never found a use for it until nearly a decade later, when, after a booze-fueled recording session, Tommy Lee added the piano line atop Sixx’s bass melody.
