"Chain Reaction" is a song by American singer Diana Ross, released on November 12, 1985 by RCA and Capitol, as the second single from her sixteenth studio album, Eaten Alive (1985).
The song was written by the Bee Gees and contains additional vocals from Barry Gibb.
According to the Gibbs' biography, the brothers had initial reservations about offering the song to Ross in case it was too Motown-like for her.
In 1993, the song entered the UK top 20 again, when it was re-released to commemorate Ross's 30th anniversary in show business.
Half-way through Ross is walking up a desolate street with barrels of fire littered around and dancers in the background.
Careful lighting and fog help create the effect Ross is performing on a real street.
It is the only time the street is shown and the video eventually returns to the TV studio performance.
The final style of scene has Ross performing in what is supposed to be the glamorous front exterior of the TV studio.
A quick shot of the control room is shown with the lead producing yelling in shock or frustration, before the scene continues.
British pop group Steps covered "Chain Reaction" on their first compilation album, Gold: Greatest Hits (2001).
The first scene in the music video for "Chain Reaction" is two paramedics lifting a patient from the ambulance onto the ground on a stretcher.
