Song information

During a live concert and Q&A appearance in Las Vegas, Cyndi stated her record company thought the song was too fast for radio.^{[citation needed]} Lauper seldom performed this in concert. As part of the "A Night To Remember" tour, she was included in the set list of the Santiago de Chile show in November 1989.

In 2004, during the Australian leg of her "At Last" tour, she performed part of the song a cappella at the request of the audience, since the single reached the Top 10 there in 1988 and was very well known. However, it wasn't until the 2006 Body Acoustic Tour that she played the song regularly in full again, and she frequently opened the True Colors 2007 Tour with it. The song was also the opening track of her 2008 Australian Tour.

Composition

It was written by Richard Orange. The song length is 4 minutes and 2 seconds. It was written in the key of E major with 105 beats per minute.

Critical reception

Pan-European magazine Music & Media wrote, "Nervous, up-tempo pop song with an incredibly speedy, Westworld-like R&R feel. Try to dance to it."[1]
