"Walk on Air" is a song by British band T'Pau, which was released in 1991 as the second single from their third studio album The Promise.
[6] The 12" and CD formats featured the additional track "Dirty Town", a non-LP song that would re-appear as B-side to the band's next single "Soul Destruction".
[7] Decker was inspired to write the lyrics of "Walk on Air" after a friend's boyfriend was killed in a motorcycle accident.
"[8] On its release, Terry Staunton of New Musical Express commented, "'Walk on Air' sounds not unlike John Waite's 'Missing You', which is fine by me."
[9] Andrew Hirst of the Huddersfield Daily Examiner picked the song as the newspaper's "single of the week" and praised it as a "fine bout of chartbound chugging melodic rock".
