​
On this day, January 27, 1984, Cyndi Lauper released Time After Time, one of her most iconic and timeless songs. Featured on her debut album, She’s So Unusual, the ballad showcased a softer, more emotional side of Lauper's artistry compared to her upbeat hits like Girls Just Want to Have Fun.

Time After Time became a massive success, reaching #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and earning Lauper widespread acclaim. The heartfelt lyrics and Lauper's expressive voice made the song a staple of 80s music and a popular choice for prom playlists and movie soundtracks.

Fun Fact: Lauper co-wrote Time After Time with Rob Hyman of The Hooters. The title was inspired by a line in a TV Guide listing for the 1979 sci-fi film Time After Time.
