Lauper's third album, 1989's A Night to Remember, though critically well-received, was not as commercially successful as its predecessors, spawning just one hit, "I Drove All Night", which was originally penned for Roy Orbison. Her soundtrack contribution, "Hole In My Heart (All the Way to China)", also flopped. In 1988 she appeared as the female lead in the quirky comedy Vibes, which was poorly received by critics and a commercial flop. The title song went on to become her second Platinum number 1 hit.
