In "Urgent," Foreigner frontman Lou Gramm gets a booty call from a lady he has history with. Her big emergency? She's hot with desire. "Just wait and see how urgent my love can be," she tells him. It seems like an offer he can't refuse, but she's been known to play tricks on his mind. It sounds like lust wins out in the end.
Written by the Foreigner songwriting team of Mick Jones and Lou Gramm, "Urgent" was the first single from 4, one of the best-selling albums of the '80s. With an R&B sound, the song was a musical departure for the band; many listeners didn't recognize it as Foreigner when they first heard it. "A few people were trapped into liking it before they found out who it was," Jones told Sounds.
Before recording this album, two members of the group left, trimming the band from six members to four. This, along with the fact that it was their fourth album, explains the title, 4.
