Album Notes & Community Reviews

Co-written by Toto keyboardist Steve Porcaro, this lush, synthesizer-driven ballad provides a crucial moment of atmospheric vulnerability amidst the high-energy dance tracks of 'Thriller'. Its mellow, philosophical approach to urban nightlife and longing added a vital layer of depth to the record's staggering commercial success.
