'Til Tuesday is considered by some as a one-hit wonder because of the success of its debut single, "Voices Carry" (from the 1985 album of the same name); the song is said to have been inspired by an argument between Mann and Hausman, who had broken off a relationship before the album's release. 1985 is a common year starting on Tuesday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

The band became an early MTV staple with the "Voices Carry" video, which depicts an oppressive boyfriend trying to convert Mann to his upper-class lifestyle; she finally lashes out at him during a concert at Carnegie Hall, standing up from her seat in the audience and belting the lyrics ("He said, shut up! He said, shut up! Oh God, can't you keep it down?...") as she removes her cap to reveal her signature spiky, rat-tailed hair.

At about the same time, Mann's two-year relationship with singer-songwriter Jules Shear, whom she had been dating since the release of the "Voices Carry" album, came to an end; this breakup somewhat informed the band's final album, 1988's Everything's Different Now, particularly in the song "J for Jules," though Mann has insisted that not every song is about the relationship.
