"Will You Be There" was the biggest hit German synth-pop band Celebrate the Nun ever had, a single that came out in 1989 ahead of their debut album, Meanwhile, and peaked at 5 on Billboard's Dance Play chart in June 1990. H.P. Baxxter wrote the words and produced it with Rick J. Jordan, and it's a cool, glossy piece of work.
The track was recorded and mixed in several versions at the ArtLab studios in Frankfurt am Main in the summer of 1989, with Achim Völker as executive producer and Peter Siedlaczek as chief sound engineer. The maxi-CD beat the album out that autumn in a spread of versions and formats, a mini-CD among them, and the video keeps things simple: the band performing in a multicoloured room, just as they did for "Ordinary Town".
