The follow-up single, "Why?", while focusing on a Hi-NRG musical formula, was more lyrically focused on anti-gay prejudice. It also achieved Top 10 status in the UK, reaching Nº6,[1] and was a Top 10 hit for the band in Australia. In 1985, the trio joined up with Marc Almond to record a version of Donna Summer's "I Feel Love".
