"Valentine" is a song by British band T'Pau, which was released in 1988 as the fifth single from their debut studio album Bridge of Spies.
It was written by Ronnie Rogers and Carol Decker, and produced by Roy Thomas Baker.
[3] When the parent album, Bridge of Spies, was released in 1987, the inner sleeve incorrectly contained the lyrics to the substantially different demo of "Valentine", instead of the eventual recorded version included on the album and released as a single.
Upon release, Karen Swayne of Number One wrote: "This is classic T'Pau – epic, dramatic and incredibly important sounding – and shouldn't harm their career one little bit.
"[9] Tom Hibbert of Smash Hits commented: "There were some irritating number ones in 1987, but T'Pau's "China in Your Hand" took the biscuit, didn't it?
