This song is also known as a classic.

It’s a track that encourages you when you feel stuck or going through tough times.

It took her a while to score a hit at first, but this song blows all of that away.

It’s definitely a song you’ll want to try singing at karaoke.

I think she probably had her hits in the ’80s, and the song has a lot of upbeat, poppy vibes.

The flow from the first verse to the pre-chorus is covered in a cheerful pop feel.

Naturally, the chorus is enjoyable too, so I think people of any generation can have fun with it.

From the intro, it features an arrangement that could fit a slow-tempo blues set to piano.

I play guitar myself, and this arrangement truly carries on the tradition of American blues.

Whether you’re a guitarist or a vocalist, it’s a textbook example of a song.

The intro has an ’80s feel.

It starts with a poppy verse that’s very her style, and it’s a fun song that builds anticipation as it moves into the pre-chorus.

Personally, I love the ’80s themselves, and I’m fond of the elements people often call commercial music.

I think this song is like that too.

Until You Come Back to Me (That’s What I’m Gonna Do)Cyndi Lauper

Released in 2004, “Until You Come Back to Me” is a cover of a song by American soul singer Aretha Franklin.

Cyndi sings it in a whispering, very subdued style.

The interplay with the blues harp is delightful.

The intro gives quite a pop impression.

From the verse, it’s a very cheerful number.

Including the pre-chorus, the chorus flows in naturally, and the whole song progresses that way.

I think this is the album where they started to become popular, so it’s worth checking out.
