About Will You Be There (In the Morning)

"Will You Be There (In the Morning)" is a song first recorded by American rock band Heart. The song was written by veteran songwriter and producer Robert John "Mutt" Lange, who was responsible for writing Heart's US number-two single "All I Wanna Do Is Make Love to You" in 1990, and was released as the first single from the band's eleventh studio album Desire Walks On (although "Black on Black II" was released to radio first). Unlike the strong majority of Heart songs, which feature Ann Wilson on lead vocals, the lead singer on the song is Nancy Wilson, who is usually the rhythm guitarist for the band. The song was not as successful as Heart's previous collaboration with Lange, as "Will You Be There" peaked at number 39 on the US Billboard Hot 100; it is the last song by Heart to enter the US top 40 to date. Despite this, it was a sizeable Adult Contemporary (number 15) and Album Rock Tracks (number 10) success. Together with "You're the Voice" it is Heart's only song to perform better in the United Kingdom than the US, rising to number 19 on the UK Singles Chart. In Canada the song reached number eight, giving Heart their eighth and final top-ten single, but it was not their last top-forty hit there. It additionally became a success in Australia, Germany, Iceland and New Zealand. more »
