"In and Out of Love" came off 7800° Fahrenheit, Bon Jovi's second album, in 1985, and Jon Bon Jovi has said he wrote it while watching MTV's Top 20 Video Countdown, which figures: it sounds built to barge onto exactly that kind of show. He wrote it alone and sings lead, playing guitar alongside Richie Sambora, with David Bryan on keyboards, Tommy Mandel on synthesizer, Alec John Such on bass and Tico Torres on drums, and a whole gang of voices on the backing vocals. David Thoener mixed it.
Cash Box praised its strong melody and the way it grabs hold from the start. It reached No. 37 on Billboard's rock chart and No. 69 on the Hot 100, and a live take recorded in Tokyo that summer later surfaced on One Wild Night Live 1985–2001.
