Story Behind The Song
Every No Expectations show starts here. It is the fastest way we know to turn a polite audience into a singing one — if you are not in by the second chorus, check your pulse.
Fun Facts
- • Released in 1984 on Reckless, co-written by Bryan Adams and longtime collaborator Jim Vallance.
- • Adams has said the '69' is not about the year — Vallance disagrees. The debate outlived the 80s.
- • It never cracked the top 3 in the US, yet became one of the most-played summer anthems ever recorded.
