"Time After Time" closed out the singles run from Happiness, the Beloved's second album, in 1990: the fifth and final track pulled from it. Jon Marsh, the group's frontman, wrote it, and Martyn Phillips produced it. This entry is the Muffin Mix.
The trade press had its doubts about it as a single. Music & Media heard dreamy synthesizers carrying a melancholy tune it found very British, wondered whether it was too monotonous for a single, and called releasing it a brave choice. Music Week's David Giles rated it the best thing on the album, heard the duo in an unusually soulful mood, praised the melody and reckoned the subdued vocals marked their final break from indie, while wondering whether a fifth single would sell. In the end it peaked at number 46 in the UK.
