Chicago’s Bill Champlin and Toto’s Steve Lukather helped write the song. Champlin would sing backing vocals on the track while Lukather, along with 2 other Toto band members would also play on the track. David Foster, who saw a hit on our charts with ‘Love Theme from ‘St Elmo’s Fire’’ would play synthesizers. Champlin would record his own version in 1994.
