After some exploration with drum machines and the band, producer Neil Giraldo decided to make it an uptempo song.

[12] The single was unlike most of Benatar's previous work, as it featured an electronic dance element, but guitars and drums were still present.

In 1984, the song won Benatar her fourth consecutive Grammy Award for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance.

Her father (played by actor Trey Wilson) berates her as her mother watches helplessly.

Benatar waves goodbye to her brother (played by actor Philip Cruise), who watches sadly from an upstairs window.

After thanking Benatar for helping liberate them, the dancers bid each other goodbye and all go their separate ways.

The video ends with Benatar sitting in the back of a bus headed for an unknown destination.
