“It's Tricky” is the fourth single released from Run-DMC's third album, Raising Hell. It was released early in 1987 through Profile Records and was co-produced by Rick Rubin and the group themselves. The song peaked at No. 57 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and No. 21 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop selling Songs. In the UK, the song reached No. 16 on the UK Singles Chart. Two decades after the song's release, the Knack sued Run-DMC on the grounds that “It's Tricky” sampled their song “My Sharona” without permission.

In 1998, American producer Jason Nevins remixed the song under the amended title “(It's) Tricky”. This version peaked at No. 74 in the UK while Nevins' remix of their song “It's Like That” spent its fifth week at No. 1 on the UK Singles Chart. Nevins' remix also achieved top-40 placings in continental Europe, Australia, and New Zealand.
