The song "Sweet Chains" by Dokken is the eighth track on their fifth studio album, Dysfunctional, which marked the reunion of the classic lineup and was released in 1995. This particular track is credited solely to vocalist Don Dokken as the composer and lyricist. Falling into the Hard Rock and Heavy Metal genres, "Sweet Chains" features the iconic Dokken band members including Don Dokken on vocals, George Lynch on guitar, Jeff Pilson on bass, and "Wild" Mick Brown on drums. The track, like the rest of the Dysfunctional album, carries a sound that is heavier and more rooted in a mid-90s hard rock groove than their signature 1980s melodic metal, though it still showcases a driving tempo and the essential elements of their classic sound. The album itself was primarily produced by Don Dokken, with Michael Wagener also contributing as a producer and engineer, defining the sound for this significant post-reunion effort.
