"You're in Love" kicks off Invasion of Your Privacy, Ratt's 1985 album on Atlantic, and it was the second single cut loose from it. Bassist Juan Croucier and singer Stephen Pearcy wrote it and Beau Hill produced, with Pearcy up front, Robbin Crosby and Warren DeMartini on guitars, Croucier on bass and Bobby Blotzer on drums, while Crosby, DeMartini and Croucier stack up the backing vocals.
Don't take the title at face value. Pearcy has called it the band's "love song" and then taken it right back, describing it as romance in the danger zone, the kind of sly, winking lyric Ratt liked to leave for listeners to puzzle out. The video splices together love scenes from classic movies and cartoons, and at one point Crosby snags a piece of underwear a fan hurls onto the stage.
