Notes[]

  • This was Branigan's final Top 10 hit, after which she only hit the Top 40 three other times before her early death in 2004.
  • The song is one of several featured in Miami Vice that was later included in the video game Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, which was heavily inspired by the show. The song appears on the fictional in-game radio station Flash FM, and was also used in the game's 10th anniversary trailer.
