In 1994, frontwoman Chrissie Hynde was known for her powerful voice with hits like "Talk of the Town," "Back on the Chain Gang," and many more that cemented the band in the rock genre. No one expected her and The Pretenders to release a moving ballad that captured the emotions of unshakable love.
"Hynde’s haunting voice sounds lived in and a little sad as she pledges timeless devotion to someone who could be a lover (and yes, this song makes for a great old-school slow dance) — but could just as easily be a friend or family member, for whom love survives against all odds," they added.
While the track has become a timeless anthem about love, it didn't top the charts, reaching No. 16 on Billboard Hot 100. It also landed at No. 21 on the Modern Rock Track chart. Many praised Hynde's vocals, calling them a "powerful, moving presence." Others also applauded her ability to go from hard-edged rocker to giving them "a gorgeous ballad" that tugged at the heartstrings.
In 2010, Shakira covered the track as a promotional charity single for the Hope for Haiti Now campaign. The popular series Glee also covered the track and entered the charts.
