Pop Bits: Easton's debut US single "Morning Train" was sitting comfortably in the #1 spot when this follow-up single hit the chart. In the UK, this song was actually her first single and it fizzled at #56. However, when "Morning Train" became a hit, this single was reissued and ended up reaching #8.
ReduxReview: Originally I liked this song far better than "Morning Train" and bought the single. I still love it, but "Morning" ended up having a little bit of timelessness to it where this one has gotten a bit dated. Both songs were terrific first singles and they started her career off with a bang.
ReduxRating: 7/10
Trivia: Having a #1 hit with her debut single plus this Top 20 entry helped get Easton the Grammy for Best New Artist winning over Adam & the Ants, The Go-Go's, James Ingram, and Luther Vandross.
