"Revival" led the way for We Too Are One as its first single in 1989, with Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart steering Eurythmics back toward rock and R&B. The pair wrote it with keyboardist Pat Seymour and Charlie Wilson of the Gap Band, who also sings backing vocals, and Stewart produced it with Jimmy Iovine.
It's an uptempo shout for renewal, a pep talk set to a strut, and Music & Media heard a brassy, muscular R&B number in the Aretha Franklin mould, hook and all. Britain took it to 26, and in Australia it became the duo's 16th top-20 single, and their last. America never got it as a single at all.
