The Warrior (feat. Patty Smyth)

This was written by Holly Knight along with Nick Gilder of "Hot Child In The City" fame. With the battle/love theme, the song is similar to Pat Benatar's "Love Is A Battlefield," which Knight also wrote. She told Songfacts: "Rather than a love song or a fighting song, it was more empowerment. I never realized before I wrote that song how much the warrior spirit is inside of me, and it means a lot to me - which I'm writing about in my memoirs - to stand up for the things that you believe in and to follow through believing that those dreams can come true. Basically not taking s--t from people but still trying to have some class and be open-minded and listen. It's all part and parcel for me."

This was the biggest hit for Scandal, whose lead singer Patty Smyth had a #2 US hit in 1992 with "Sometimes Love Just Ain't Enough," a duet with Don Henley. Smyth married tennis star John McEnroe in 1997.

This song deals with the animal energy that both fuels and destroys so many relationships. Co-writer Holly Knight told Songfacts: "There's a fine line that you walk between trying to get somebody to behave and tame them for the right things, and not breaking their wild spirit. So 'I don't wanna tame your animal style,' when you're young and you're innocent you don't really have any regard for rules, but it's a double-edged sword. You want to retain that, but once you lose innocence, it's a fine line that you walk."
