"So Lonely" is from The Police's 1978 album Outlandos d'Amour. The reggae-infused rock song was initially overlooked, but after the band's breakthrough it was re-released in 1980, reaching #27 on the UK Singles Chart and #6 in Ireland. Sting has said the lyrics were inspired by the loneliness he experienced after the end of his first marriage, giving the upbeat song a surprisingly melancholic theme.

"Need You Tonight" is a song by the Australian rock band INXS, released as the first single from their 1987 album, Kick, as well as the fourth song on the album. It is the only INXS single to reach No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. It also achieved their highest charting position in the United Kingdom, where the song reached number two on the UK Singles Chart; however, this peak was only reached after a re-release of the single in November 1988. On its first run on the UK charts in October 1987, it stalled at No. 58. It was one of the last songs recorded for the album, yet it would arguably become the band's signature song.
