Background edit
"You're in Love" was co-written by Ratt bassist Juan Croucier and lead singer Stephen Pearcy.
Pearcy said, "'You're In Love' – I call it our 'love song,' but it's not. At all. It's kind of a "danger zone" love scenario."[3] He added that the song highlights the band's "tongue-in-cheek, poke-at-ya, try-and-figure-it-out kind of lyrics" style.[3]
Featured on Season 2 Episode 9: "Flashback" of the Freeform series, Alone Together.
