The story behind the song

This power ballad explores the intense, questioning emotions of new love, wondering if the powerful feelings are truly the real thing. Written by vocalist David Coverdale and guitarist John Sykes, the song was initially conceived for Tina Turner before David Geffen insisted Coverdale keep it for Whitesnake. Released in 1987 on their self-titled album, it quickly became a staple in their live shows. It captures that universal moment of vulnerability and hope when faced with overwhelming affection.
