"It's All Coming Back to Me Now" is a #powerBallad written by #JimSteinman. According to Steinman, the song was inspired by #WutheringHeights, and was an attempt to write "the most passionate, romantic song" he could ever create. The Sunday Times posits that "Steinman protects his songs as if they were his children". #MeatLoaf, who had collaborated with Steinman on most of his hit songs, had wanted to record the song for years, but Steinman refused.

Streets of Fire looks like a music video, moves like a cartoon, and thinks like a bar fight. Great songs, killer vibes—and a macho fantasy so outdated it punches itself in the face.
Full review: A rock-and-roll fairy tale that can't decide if it's sincere, ironic, or just plain dumb.
