Bangles lead singer Susanna Hoffs wrote this with Billy Steinberg and Tom Kelly, who have written many hit songs, including "Like A Virgin," "True Colors" and "I Touch Myself." Says Steinberg, "Right from the get go The Bangles were a retro '60s kind of band. They loved '60s music, obscure groups like The Merry Go Round. There was a song by The Merry Go Round called 'Live' and The Bangles used to do that. They liked everything from Petula Clark to The Beatles, so when we got together to write with Susanna, it was right up our alley because Tom and I grew up with '60s music and that was what we loved also."

This was written in the same batch of songs that produced "Eternal Flame," which was a #1 hit for The Bangles.

Steinberg: "'In Your Room' I think if anything it's a bit like 'Mony, Mony,' the Tommy James song. Sort of a happy Pop song. It's kind of camp. I wouldn't say it's one of the songs I'm the most proud of, but people like it, it's cute." (Thanks to Billy for speaking with us about this song.

In 2004, Target stores used this in commercials to promote their home furnishings.
