"Everlasting Love" kicked off Howard Jones's fourth album, Cross That Line, going out as its first single in February 1989. Jones wrote it himself and sings it, and he handed the production to a trio: Ross Cullum, Chris Hughes and Ian Stanley, the latter a former member of Tears for Fears, with Mike Roarty mixing.
America took to it harder than his homeland did. It rose to 12 on the Billboard Hot 100 that summer, reached 19 on Modern Rock Tracks and spent two weeks at the top of the Adult Contemporary chart, his second number one there after "No One Is to Blame". In Canada it went to 3, the best showing of his career, while in Britain, home of so many of his earlier hits, it stalled at 62.
