Co-written by Diane Warren and Albert Hammond, the successful power ballad served as the band’s third and final No. 1, following hits “We Built This City” and “Sara.” Before that, Starship had earned success under its previous two names, Jefferson Starship and Jefferson Airplane.
Lyrically, the song is all about finding that one romantic love interest that takes your breath away. So much so, you’re willing to fight for them through thick and thin.
Clocking in at four minutes and twenty-seven seconds, “Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now” served as Warren’s first No. 1 hit. She would go on to secure more hits throughout her career, with credits behind songs like Celine Dion’s “Because You Loved Me,” Aerosmith’s “I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing,” and Cher’s “If I Could Turn Back Time,” among others.
Made for the Movies
Along with its success as an ‘80s anthem about love, “Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now” also served as the theme song to the cult classic film, Mannequin, starring actors Andrew McCarthy, who played the role of the character Jonathan Switcher, and Kim Cattrall, who played the role of Emmy Hesire.
In addition to taking the No. 1 spot on the Hot 100 chart, “Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now,” which appears on Starship’s 1987 album, No Protection, went on to become the band’s best-selling single, also topping the chart in several other countries, including Canada, Ireland, and the United Kingdom.
