 In the UK, "Like Flames" was released as the second single from the album in March 1987, following "You Don't Know", which was released as the next single elsewhere.It peaked at number 47 there.Nunn has blamed the lack of success to the sudden change of style for the band, which alienated their established fanbase of their synth-pop albums, and failing to gain new fans from their new-found fame with "Take My Breath Away", because the album sounded nothing like it, although the hit song was included on the album at the insistence of Geffen to capitalize on its success.
