"Blue Period" was the fourth single the Smithereens took from 11, the American alternative rock group's third album, and Pat DiNizio wrote every word and note of it. What sets it apart is the company: Belinda Carlisle steps in to sing on it, and Gerri Sutyak adds cello to the band's power pop. Enigma put it out as the follow-up to "Yesterday Girl", with "Top of the Pops" coming next in the run of singles.
