There are many classics sharing the song title — like Aerosmith’s dramatic rock ballad, Madonna’s seductive ‘80s bop, or even Sarah McLachlan’s heart-wrenching “Angel,” which will forever incite a sob-fest as it soundtracks ASPCA advertisements.
More recent songs of the name include Shaggy and Rayvon’s heartfelt dancehall Hot 100-topper, the funky Pharrell jam off 2006’s In My Mind, The Weeknd’s devotional Beauty Behind the Madness closer, and Fifth Harmony’s recent single.
