In the second verse he admits that the relationship is over and his once girlfriend is now his ex. The music video for the song is inspired by the film "Flashdance". The song was a disappointment, only charting at #39 on the UK Singles Chart. This was the band's lowest charting single since 2003 single "Get Your Hands off My Woman".

Flashdance Flashdance is a 1983 American romantic drama film directed by Adrian Lyne. It was the first collaboration of producers Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer, and the presentation of some sequences in the style of music videos was an influence on other 1980s films including "Top Gun" (1986), Simpson and Bruckheimer's most famous production. "Flashdance" opened to negative reviews by professional critics, but was a surprise box office success, becoming the third highest-grossing film of 1983 in the United States. It had a worldwide box-office gross of more than $100 million. Its soundtrack spawned several hit songs, including "Maniac" (performed by Michael Sembello), and the Academy Award–winning "Flashdance... What a Feeling" (performed by Irene Cara), which was written for the film.

High Time (song) "High Time" is the third and final single from the 1983 album, "Kilroy Was Here", by Styx. It reached number 48 on the U.S. "Billboard" Hot 100 singles chart. According to a 2009 interview Dennis DeYoung did with Styxcollector.com, "High Time" was released as the third single at the last minute by A&M Records. This happened because Styx member Tommy Shaw refused to have his song "Haven't We Been Here Before", which had an accompanying music video directed by Steve Barron, released. There was also animosity over the band refusing his choice of a live version of the "Kilroy Was Here" track "Cold War" to be included on the band's 1984 live album "Caught in the Act", but instead was only released as a video. Because of Shaw's actions, in part, momentum on the "Kilroy" album stalled, and it quickly fell out of popularity.

If I Was Your Girlfriend "If I Was Your Girlfriend" was the second single from American musician Prince's 1987 double album "Sign o' the Times". The song was a hit in the United Kingdom but was only a minor hit in America. It was originally from the "Camille" project of 1986, which was to be released under the guise of Prince's alter ego named Camille. The song is delivered from an androgynous male perspective to a woman, wherein Prince explores the possibilities of a more intimate relationship if he were his lover's platonic girlfriend. "Trouser Press" names the song as one of the album's highlights, noting that it "redefines a relationship in a surprisingly mature way." It is believed that "If I Was Your Girlfriend" deals with the jealousy Prince felt at the close bond shared between then girlfriend/fiancée Susannah Melvoin with her sister Wendy.
