[@Dreamcatcher9000]

You know what though? I also am an '80s kid, and I lived through the whole decade and I wish I could go back too. But, if I went back to the '80s, and lived there forever...a) I would get bored with the repetitiveness at some point, and b) I would NEVER re-live all the great stuff that the '90s (and a little bit beyond them) brought. Yes, the '80s were great, as well as the '50s, and '60s, and '70s, and '90s, each for their own reasons. What was good about them, was the EVOLUTION from one to another. The '80s were fun, but would you really expect them to last forever, in all eternity? They had to end at some point, because everything ends at some point. But not entirely. We have our memories (and You Tube, of course! :p) that will keep them alive for as long as we live. And besides that, to what SPECIFIC year of the '80s would you like to go, and get stuck there and never leave? 1987, the year this song came out? So you would never listen to Madonna's "Like A Prayer" (and I mean the whole album!) which came out in 1989, huh? Or, you would never witness the evolution of the second (possibly) greatest female pop star of all times, Kylie Minogue. And ALL the other great songs that came out in 1988 and 1989. Or, to go even further, all the COUNTLESS great stuff that came out in the early '90s, at least. I know what you mean man, I feel you, I would like to be able to go back too. But maybe once every year for a week, and go to a few parties and all that, and then come back to today. Not STAY there forever. The world didn't end in 1989. p.s.: An 90 year old guy cuts in the conversation: "Screw the '80s, they sucked, I wanna go back to the '50s to see Elvis again and stay there forever! The '50s were the best times, so pure and innocent and we had a great time!" 😆

This song gets released when she was 16 and still in high school, doesn't let the instant fame go to her head and continues on staying in the same high school where my cousins also attended, saying she worked too hard to not stand with her classmates and graduate. She certainly could've moved anywhere in the country at that point or changed to a private school but she didn't which says a lot about her and what she accomplished while still in her teens and how a couple of years ago, she attended her high school's 30 year class reunion.

[@Dreamcatcher9000]

The common thing that Debbie's songs and '60s songs with female singers (and I don't mean the psychedelic experimental stuff -not that there something wrong with them-, but the typical simple '60s music) had, is that they were just pure innocence. No boobs, no big asses, no pu**y, no money, no drugs, no expensive cars, no golden teeth, nothing. Just girls longing for someone to love and love them back. Pretty old-fashioned these days...

Plus they were incredibly talented singers who were genuine and sincere with their music.

I remember buying this tape at Longs Drug Store and listening to it on my Walkman wearing my headphones upside down to be cool. To be a kid in the 80s was so awesome.

My sister and I grew up listening to Debbie Gibson. She is a phenomenal singer.

[@joshmos]

Brilliant song...she is so underrated, I dont think people realize she WROTE HER OWN SONGS

[@kcmaldonado3948]

And produced and performed

[@the_letter_b]

I think most, then and still up to now, assumed she was totally manufactured by old guys in suits at major labels and that isn't cool so just ignore her music as if it never existed. The beats on these songs are similar to italo and freestyle songs as well, a sound that was made outside of major label studios but some of those songs became quite popular so in retrospect people think they were major label lab produced. Similar for other popular songs then. Madonna's songs, on her first album at least, were not major label manufactured and handed to her (though she worked with others for beats, they were mostly underground people in NYC). Even some of what was major label produced was done by people who made exceptional and cool music, like Rick James, Quincy Jones, and Prince, the idea people have that those really making popular music then were Gordon Gekko type guys in suits is way off. Unfortunately the 80s is getting a distorted nostalgia problem now due to younger people and apps, entertainment, and clothing stores catering to them putting so much focus on music that was far less popular then and ignoring or minimizing the actually popular songs like this one, in part due to wrongful assumptions and ignorance about the backstories.

[@CzechRiot]

As time goes by I realize it's more about destiny than anything else. You have there a beautiful teenager who simply was born with good looks, good voice, musical talent, and simply created alone several songs that were unique and recognized as such by pretty much everyone that counts in the world, (and even those who did not...). And so many other people struggle so much and simply cannot do anything worthy of any use.

[@jeffs6819]

Quite talented, plays several instruments. She decided to work to obtain success, free will and a decision to work towards something are outside of a predetermined destiny.
