"We Belong" led the charge for Tropico, Pat Benatar's fifth studio album, in 1984, and it's the sound of a rock singer reaching for something bigger and more tender. The songwriting pair of Eric Lowen and Dan Navarro wrote it, and Neil Giraldo produced it with Pete Coleman while playing guitar, harmonica and percussion himself. Charles Giordano adds keyboards, Myron Grombacher drums, Donnie Nossov bass, and Roger Capps sits in as a guest on bass too.

It went to number five on the Billboard Hot 100, matching "Love Is a Battlefield", reached number three on the rock tracks chart and gave Benatar her first top 40 hit in Britain. It also earned her a Grammy nomination for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance, and it has lived on in Talladega Nights and Deadpool 2.
