QuoteHasselhoff continues:
So I flew to Sweden and got into the studio with one of these writers and heard the track and I thought, "Wow, this is terrific." It's definitely a throwback to those Kenny Loggins '80s tracks that I love.
The guy who wrote this, Jorgen Elofsson, is awesome. His track record is sick. From Kelly Clarkson's "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)" to songs with Celine Dion. I kept looking at his wall going, "Boy, am I with one of the master writers of all time."
When I heard the track, I went ballistic because I knew I could sing it. It comes from the '80s! That's where I have my big hits, it's the music I organically love. It was the days of Queen, Prince, and Michael Jackson's heyday.

this whole thing is a big joke...
Wow, this is really awful... :-\
One of the most embarassing CHEIRON songs ever.
I get a feeling that you don't really get the whole idea behind the song...
Your feelings cheated you then.
Keeping in mind that it IS kind of a joke, I'd say that it serves its purpose to a 100%. The craftmanship is pretty spectacular keeping in mind all people that have tried to create the perfect present day 80's cliché song. You have to think of it as "how would this have been perceived as a movie soundtrack in 1984".

100% agreed. The whole thing is pretty well executed.
