Album cover for Phil Collins's Dance Into the Light.

Dance Into the Light, released in 1996, was the sixth studio album that Phil Collins released as a solo artist as well as the first single from that album. After the disappointing sales of his prior album, the emotional Both Sides, Phil Collins returned with his most upbeat album since 1985's No Jacket Required. With the notable exception of "Just Another Story", perhaps Collins's most depressing song as a solo artist, the album contained numerous up-tempo tracks including the Beatles-inspired "It's In Your Eyes", "Wear My Hat", and the album's title track.

The album was also Collins' first to not contain any American Top 40 hits, with the title track only reaching #45 (although it cracked the Top 10 in the UK).

Trivia

• Actor Danny Devito appeared in the video for "Wear My Hat".

According to a tribute page to her on the Myelin Project webpage [1], Michaela wrote it and sent it to Collins in the mid 90s; Collins wrote back asking her not to send it to anyone else, because he wanted to put music to the words.
