Sobre el álbum
El segundo álbum homónimo, Laura Branigan, de 1990, es un trabajo que marca un regreso a un sonido de pop adulto y R&B más orgánico. Tras el sonido sintético de su anterior disco, en este álbum la cantante busca una mayor profundidad y una producción más atemporal.
De esta manera, el sonido del disco es más sofisticado y se centra en la calidad de las canciones y en la increíble interpretación vocal de Branigan. La producción es elegante y utiliza instrumentos reales, con un aire de soft rock y R&B contemporáneo.
El álbum cuenta con composiciones de algunas de las mejores autoras de la industria, como la reputada Diane Warren. El disco está repleto de baladas poderosas y medios tiempos de una gran calidad. Es un trabajo que busca la credibilidad artística por encima del éxito fácil.
Este álbum homónimo es una obra de madurez. Es el sonido de una artista que ha evolucionado, un trabajo que, por consiguiente, aunque no tuvo un gran impacto comercial, es muy apreciado por sus seguidores por su elegancia y su calidad musical.

Letra
What's going on down on the planet What's going on inside your pretty head What's life without a Mercedes And the need to feel adrenaline rush Is it better than moonlight on water Is it better than sex on the beach Think about us riding wild horses Think about us it's not out of reach I'm here for you No matter where you go no matter what you do I'm here for you When there's a lonely night who can you hold on to I'm here for you Want you in my arms uncomplicated I am for you I am Who's gonna be the competition Who's next in line for promotion baby Everyday the real world is fading Spinning out on the wheel of fortune but Is it better than moonlight on water Is it better than sex on the beach Think about us riding wild horses Think about us it's not out of reach babe I'm here for you No matter where you go no matter what you do I'm here for you When there's a lonely night who can you hold on to I'm here for you Want you in my arms uncomplicated I am for you I am You've been working so hard, don't you know it baby You don't understand what I want from you Instead of dreamin' 'bout all that money We got such simpler things to do Like moonlight on water Like sex on the beach Think about us riding wild horses Think about us it's not out of reach babe I'm here for you No matter where you go no matter what you do I'm here for you When there's a lonely night who can you hold on to I'm here for you Want you in my arms uncomplicated I am for you I am But don't you worry 'bout the wrong things - Bad Attitude4:00
Letra
Drawn like a moth to a flame I've been consumed by the fire I've only got myself to blame I shoulda known better Than givin' into desire And with an arrow through my heart I watch your image fall apart True colors blinding me I don't like what I see You know you got a bad attitude I wanna love you but you're too dumb animal Raw like a diamond in the rough I think you're pretty but you're too tough You see the glass half empty I see the glass half filled You try to tell me it's alright You say you're gonna change your ways Oh baby I know you never will You know you got a bad attitude I wanna love you but you're too dumb animal Raw like a diamond in the rough I think you're pretty but you're too tough I don't need your bad attitude It's hard to love you when you're too wild animal Raw like a diamond in the rough I've had my fill babe enough is enough And with an arrow through my heart I watch your image fall apart True colors blinding me I'm not impressed with what I see Get out of here with your bad attitude I wanna love you but you're too wild animal Raw you're a diamond in the rough I've had my fill babe enough is enough I don't need your bad attitude It's hard to love you when you when you're too wild animal Raw you're a diamond in the rough You could be pretty but you're too tough I don't need, bad attitude I wanna love you, I wanna love you - Never in a Million Years4:08
Letra
Oh, if I could touch you It'd be a once in a lifetime dream come true And oh, if I could have you Just one night, just one time But I know I'll never get the chance I'll never get a second glance Never in a million years Never in a thousand tears If I could ever hold you I'd never let go Never in a million years Oh, I need you If you could only see inside my heart And oh, to be near you close enough, to reach and touch well I've thought it over in my mind If I could walk across the bridge of time Never in a million years Never in a thousand tears If I could ever hold you I'd never let go Never in a million years But I know, I'll never, never, never get the chance I'll never get a second glance Never in a million years Never in a thousand tears If I could ever hold you I'd never let go Never in a million years Never Never in a million years Never in a thousand tears If I could ever hold you I'd never let go Never in a million years - Smoke Screen4:06
Letra
I confess I love you But you don't believe me You're on the rebound And you don't want to get hurt again I know you are fallin' But you don't want to let me know You think it's safer not to let it show You got your feelings locked away For your protection You think you keep them inside Oh it's so obvious there's something Here that can't be denied You're building up a smoke screen Trying to keep me in the dark Trying to camouflage the way you feel You're sending out a smoke screen Acting like you're not in love Making out it's no big deal I know it You know it What are you afraid of You're keeping a distance For the sake of apppearances Don't want to look like You are ruled by your emotions Surrender to your heart Lift the veil that's keeping us apart You're building up a smoke screen Trying to keep me in the dark Trying to camouflage the way you feel You're sending out a smoke screen Acting like you're not in love Making out it's no big deal I know it You know it Say the words you need to say I know it You know it Blow the smoke away I know it You know it Step out from behind the cloud I know you love me just say it out loud You got your feelings locked away For your protection You think you keep them inside Oh it's so obvious there's something Here that can't be denied - Let Me In5:18
Letra
Driving through the city As I look out through the window Wonderin what it's like to be sleepin' on the outside Watch me take a picture of the place that I grew up in Sorry mister, thought you look like someone I remember Someone I remember Look at him still walking Like he knows somebody's watchin' If I try to talk to him I wonder if he'll know me C'mon say "Hey baby" won't you take a ride in my car Maybe you can show me how we lost what we believe in Just let me stay here I'm running from I don't know Just let me stay here the night I won't hurt you Don't stop me Just let me stay a while Just let me stay here for life I know it's been a while and the years have been unfaithful Is there nothing left of me that even looks familiar Everything was easy when we thought we had the answer Why you lookin' at me like I'm from another planet Just let me stay here I'm running from I don't know Just let me stay here the night I won't hurt you Don't stop me Just let me stay a while Just let me stay here for life Ooo eeee Oh My lo say no May you can let me in - Turn the Beat Around4:22

Somewhere tonight become alive Two hearts at night We're one of a kind Here we are undivided by anything Just you and I We've come so far no one else could ever Steal away what we confide Who wants to know?

We stick together we're never apart Everybody knows who we are Because we are one We do it in unison We've come together and stronger we are Just when the world tries to tear us apart We go on as one We do it in unison You and me As one We stay together We stay together Unison Baby here we are undivided by Anything just you and I We've come so far No one else could ever steal away what we confide Who wants to know?

- Reverse Psychology3:33
Letra
All the girls are runnin' after you And I've got to admit that it includes me too All the girls are puttin' on a show We all try to catch your eye But you don't want to know I've got to be smart Really got to use my head I'm gonna pretend I'm not interested I got a secret weapon I'm runnin' away To to make you fall in love with me I can create the illusion I'll turn you around With reverse psychology Chase me till I catch you... It really gets you when you are ignored So I'll make myself a territory unexplored Now it's my turn to play hard to get If you try to phone I won't be home So you don't suspect I got a secret weapon I'm runnin' away To to make you fall in love with me I can create the illusion I'll turn you around With reverse psychology My heart's telling me what to do Let you chase me till I catch you I've got to be smart Really got to use my head I'm gonna pretend I'm not interested - The Best Was Yeet to Come3:21
