Def Leppard began the year with a well-received February residency at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. This ongoing world tour launched in March in India. They also released a stand-alone single, titled "Rejoice."
Frontman Joe Elliott said the song came together quickly after he asked a question of guitarist Phil Collen: "I've got this idea for a lyric where the narrator is at absolute rock bottom and wants to rise up to a higher level. Do you have a musical piece that might match with that?" Collen's reply: "As it happens, yes I do."
