History

The song was written by Survivor members Gary Smith, Frankie Sullivan and Jim Peterik for their band to perform on their first album, Survivor. Producer Ron Nevison felt the song wasn't right for the record, however, so it was nixed. The song's rough mix was given to 38 Special's manager Mark Spector. The band recorded the tune and loved it, and it eventually became 38 Special's first hit.[3]

gollark: Technically, that was yesterday and I forgot what I was thinking.
gollark: Actually, you might only be duplicating the ones within the future light-cone of wherever you travel to.
gollark: Destroying the original universe *does* at least fix issues with the drive causing people to cease to exist.
gollark: I think many worlds holds that that's happening constantly anyway, but use of the drive does it more.
gollark: I'm not sure exactly what I was thinking of at the time, but assuming you accept the alternate branches as "existing" in some way then creating new ones is ethically fraught, since you're basically duplicating all morally relevant entities ever.
