• This is cover of a 1984 song by Bonnie Tyler used in the movie Footloose, an '80s classic starring Kevin Bacon as a teenager who upsets the apple cart in a town where dancing in outlawed. The song has been covered by guys before (including Caleb Hyles in 2020) but the openly gay Lambert turned the song into an anthem of inclusivity and empowerment. "The thing I like about the song and what I'm hoping to communicate with the music video is that we can all be our own hero," he said in an iHeart Ask Anything chat. "You have to be the change you want to see. Leading by example is really effective. A lot of the things I believe in dearly I try to put into action. Everybody has the ability to be a hero. You just have to find something you really believe in and fight for it."
• The song is part of Lambert's covers album High Drama, which also includes his versions of Duran Duran's "Ordinary World" and Sia's "Chandelier."
• The music video was directed by Jordan Rossi and starts with Lambert dressed in a suit, leading a band wearing similar suits but also Daft Punk-like robot heads. As the video moves forward, Lambert's outfits get more and more extravagant, and the band sheds their uniforms for highly expressive individual looks.
  
  "The idea behind the video is to throw away homogeneity and celebrate individuality, whatever form that may take," Rossi told Promonews. "At every stage of the video Adam and I sought to subvert traditional conventions of music videos, fashion and pop iconography to create a piece of work that was fun, tongue-in-cheek and expressive with an incredible cast."
• Fitting for a cover of an '80s song, the video pays homage to Robert Palmer's 1985 video for "Addicted To Love," in which identical-looking female models formed his "band."
