This was the third #1 single for Starship (after "We Built This City" and "Sara"), except the only members of the group who actually participated in the recording of the song were Grace Slick and Mickey Thomas. Producer Narada Michael Walden preferred to use his veteran session players to provide the instrumental backing. (thanks, Brad Wind - Miami, FL)
Starship were originally called Jefferson Airplane, then Jefferson Starship, and then Starship. It was the biggest hit for any version of the group, spending 2 weeks at #1 in the US and 4 weeks at #1 in the UK.
This was the theme song to the movie Mannequin, which starred Andrew McCarthy (an original Brat Pack member) and Kim Cattrall (who played Samantha Jones in Sex And The City). (thanks, Johanna - London, England, for above 2)
Michael Gottleib, who directed Mannequin, commissioned songwriters Albert Hammond and Diane Warren to write this for the wedding scene of the film and sent them a script for the movie. Hammond explained in a 1992 BBC Radio interview, "I had lived with my girlfriend Claudia for seven years. I had finally gotten divorced from my other marriage and was thinking of writing a song for me to sing and make a demo for our wedding, so I combined the two. What we thought of, what I said to Diane was 'it's almost like they've stopped me from marrying this woman for seven years, and they haven't succeeded. They're not gonna stop me doing it.' That's when suddenly Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now came up." (thanks, Edward Pearce - Ashford, Kent, England)

This was the song that played during the ending credits of the movie. This was by no means the "theme song"... a movie's theme never gets played for the very 1st time while people are standing up and leaving the theater while the end credits roll. "In My Wildest Dreams" by Belinda Carlisle was the main title theme with the animation etc... which thematically was repeated many times during thr film. Get a f--king clue before publishing wrong information about both movies and their songs.

The Mannequin Movie was soooo awful! I thought it was dumb when it came out and I was only 7!

This is one of the best motivation songs around and this song will be played at a fundraiser for cancer along with many other motivational songs for the night. This is to enable cancer sufferers to forget about their cancers for one night and enjoy themselves. Helen QLD

This song is great to sing to it, and a very powerful ballad. This song is romantic, and a great way to dance to.

"Nothing's gonna Stop.." is probably one of the best Rock Ballads I've ever heard.

The Starting Line did a cover of this song...it's probably way more cool

Hehehe....I used to love this song when I was 6 years old because I think that's the first time I watched Mannequin. It is a great song.
