It's no wonder that there was a period in my adolescence when I was obsessed with Belinda Carlisle. It would have lasted longer were it not for Ms Audrey Horne.
The Belinda era probably peaked with this track. She's never looked better than in this video and as for the single cover, oh yes. Probably my favourite Belinda song.
With hindsight it sounds like typical late 80's over-produced power pop.
It's also why it still sounds brilliant.
