The song was originally written by Mae Moore and John Dexter, both Vancouver-area musicians.[2] As recorded, it is credited to Moore, Dexter and Paul Dean & Mike Reno from Loverboy.

Cash Box called it a "powerful, emotional rock ballad."[3] Billboard called it a "routine power ballad."[4]

Noteworthy is the fact that Loverboy keyboardist Doug Johnson does not appear in the song's music video. His absence was intentional, as he felt that the Top Gun film over-glamorized war and military service.[5]
