Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

Jay Underwood had to wear platform boots and padding to approximate Sonny's diminutive stature next to Renee Faia's 5'9" frame.

Cultural

Released the same year as Cher's own 'Believe' dominated radio, making this essentially competing with its subject's present-tense relevance.
