The song gained more notice performed by Barbra Streisand when it was released as the lead single from her album Emotion in autumn 1984.
Streisand's rendition of the song is a power ballad which tells about experiences of a woman who finds out her partner has been cheating on her.
The percussive synth sound in the intro is taken from Billy Squier's song "All Night Long", a track which was also produced by Steinman in 1984.
Filmed within three days in Los Angeles in September 1984, it was directed by Jonathan Kaplan and included an appearance from Kris Kristofferson.
The six-minute video portrays Barbra as a lounge singer entangled in a love triangle, with Kristofferson playing her partner.
