Nothings gonna stop us now - Starship

Song : Nothings gonna stop us now

Singer: Starship

Year : 1987

"Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now" is a song co-written by Diane Warren and Albert Hammond recorded by American rock band “Starship” for their second studio album, No Protection (1987). It is a power ballad duet featuring Starship vocalists Grace Slick and Mickey Thomas. It is the theme to the romantic comedy film “Mannequin”. Another popular song of the group is “ We built this city on Rock and Roll”

In a radio interview, Hammond said that the idea for the song came from his impending marriage to his live-in girlfriend of seven years, after his divorce from his previous wife was finalized. He had said, "It's almost like they've stopped me from marrying this woman for seven years, and they haven't succeeded. ( Again clearly his sade saathi was going on during which he could not marry his GF) They're not gonna stop me doing it. The song has been considered "feel good" propelled by a strong synthesizer beat.

The music video for "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now" was released in 1987. It shows Mickey Thomas pursuing a mannequin who comes to life, played by Grace Slick, and is intercut with scenes from the film Mannequin.

The song can also be interpreted differently to motivate oneself on any other stuff like any project or target or goal. i.e nothings gonna stop us now in reaching our goal!!! But yes primarily, it is so motivating for couples in love to take the final plunge.

Best lines – a) most motivating mukda: “Nothings gonna stop us now “

b)  Put your hand in my hand
Baby, don't ever look back

c) Let the world around us
Just fall apart
Baby, we can make it
If we're heart to heart

d) And if this world runs out of lovers
We'll still have each other
