      I will be 51 in June 6th this year. In the 80s you did not have to worry about jobs or money. If I am lucky I have another 20 or 30 yrs. Even the rich do not live to 100 yrs old.😅

    When this song came out,, we had NO idea, that we would never be able to go back to the 80's again. So many fantastic memories fill my mind when i hear this song. The 80's were wonderful for me. I always get tears in my eyes whenever i hear this song. I would give anything to go back. Sit on the porch with my grandparents, have lunch with mom and just talk. Run and play with my dog. It was such a care free time for me filled with love. I am 62 and missing the world of the 80's.

      I agree that the 80s was a great time to be alive, but I try to look at it without roast covered glasses. As a child in my 80s, every time I had a chance, I prayed to God that Russia would not start a nuclear war. Every single day,. We’re probably closer to nuclear war now than we were then with Russia but the Cold War was a scary time in the 80s

      @@jessicadugan9184 The media made it more scary than it actually was. There has never been a threat without some sort of American involvement or American provocation. But regardless of the politics, news media didn't have a hold of people back then in the same way that it does today and that's partly why fewer people back then cared about that nonsense. Certainly as kids, we never had any of that propaganda thrown at us and I don't remember my parents or my friends parents ever being overly concerned about it

    Summer, 2024
    Born in 83, I've listened to this song since I was a kid riding in the car with my mom. Always loved it. Two months ago, it came on my Playlist as we were driving for vacation, and I skipped thinking none of the family wanted to hear it. My three year old threw a fit, so I put it back on, and she danced and jammed out with her daddy, and that is hands down my favorite memory from that vacation. Same kiddo used to love for me to hold her and sing Toto's "I'll be over you" when she was a couple months old. She's one from my own heart, and this is now our song. Love the 80s.

      @Momentum Rules You bet!! In fact, since I had the misfortune of being a teenager in the 2010s--when mainstream music is almost nothing but autotune and machine noises and not using real instruments--I listen heavily to 1980s music as most of it has a unique "magical" and "stereotypical Disney" (this song is especially very Disney-esque) especially feel to it, with its potent synthesizers (like Van Halen's "Jump" and Laura Branigan's "Gloria", the latter of which I especially like the "explosive" synthesizer jabs), blazing distorted electric guitar (like in every 1980s hair metal song), and driving beats! (You can say that I am one of those youth in a generation that tends to indulge in and favor the decade 2-3 decades before the current one, as how there were youths who were a fan of the 1950s-1960s, back in the 1980s; just like there are youths who like 1980s today)
      Though I am glad that there are many artists today that are channeling the 1980s in their own music...In fact, a singer named Eddie Vantez released an album this week, of songs that sound like they came straight from Bon Jovi, RATT, Whitesnake, Journey, etc., only difference is that they were released this week! You should listen to Eddie Vantez!!

    I'm listening in June 2022. Heard it on my radio station and took awhile to learn who did it. It is a great song!

      It was originally made for the one and only Whitney Houston, but was turned down by Arista. They wrote two of her other #1 hits though.

      I believe it was intended for Belinda Carlisle. You can find her version on TH-cam. She wasn’t a fan of the song so she half assed it. It’s apparent in her version. The writers recorded it themselves & made magic.

      They offered this song to record producer Clive Davis for Whitney Houston. He declined. So they decided to sing it themselves! I’m so glad they did!

    Some of the best music came out of the Eighties. Saw so many concerts that decade. All gone now. Not the memories. 💞
