  • Written by lead singer Lou Gramm and guitarist Mick Jones, this was the third single from the 1987 Inside Information album, following "Say You Will" and "I Don't Want to Live Without You." Earlier in the year, Gramm released his first solo album, scoring a hit with "Midnight Blue."

  • Mark Gauthier from Gatineau QuébecThis is definitely one of Foreigner's Best AOR tracks, it has a slick polished feel to it! The musicianship, the music,lyrics and of course the production were Top Notch on this amazing song as it was the 1st rock edge released from their Inside Information album,both previous releases having been an upbeat and slow driven ballad! It would be sad to know as fans we wouldn't hear Lou Gramm sing another Foreigner track till their Greatest Hits package in 1992 which included 3 new tracks,2 of which were very Rock oriented AOR tracks !
