The video clip is also about this, with Lauper coming home after a long day at work to an empty room after a separation.

The song was written by Lauper, Tom Kelly and Billy Steinberg.

The song is a fan favorite; Lauper performed it many times on her A Night to Remember tour in 1989.

The single failed to make a big impact on most global charts.

[citation needed] The song received a positive review from the pan-European magazine Music & Media, which named it one of their "singles of the week" and noted both the intro, reminiscent of "the classic Arthur Brown track Fire", and the overall song which was described as "passionate and dramatic".
