A work that symbolizes a turning point, as she sought to move beyond the image of a disco queen.

The crisp contours of the synthesizers combine with a forcefully forward vocal, resulting in a sound that incorporates elements of pop and rock.

This piece is the title track that opens the album released in September 1987, backed with the song “Bad Reputation,” and it was issued as a single in January 1988.

It spent a total of three weeks on the UK’s Official Chart.

The futuristic, fast-accelerating melody and Donna Summer’s energetic vocals are uplifting just to listen to.

When it comes to late-1980s dance-pop, Donna Summer naturally tops the list.

The song I’m introducing today was produced by Stock Aitken Waterman and released in the U.S.

as a single in October 1989, included on the album Another Place and Time.

Peaking at No.

49 on the UK Singles Chart in January 1991, this track is notable for its strong forward momentum that feels like breaking free from oppression.

Guided by a mechanical bass line and a crisp, hard-edged snare, it blends pop and soul elements with an expansive, liberating melody—simply superb.

And her overwhelming vocal prowess needs no explanation.

If you’re looking to lift your spirits, I highly recommend giving this track a listen.
