It was their seventh single overall and first single that was an original song since 1981's "Another Latin Love Song". Its lyrics describe the band explaining how they feel their lover is unfaithful of their love, hence the lyric "You say you love me, but want success ." The single was the band's only top ten hit, reaching #3 on the UK Singles Chart the week of January 15, 1983 . It peaked at #75 on the Billboard Hot 100 the week of May 14, 1983 . </P> <P> In 1982, The Belle Stars released three covers "Iko Iko", by The Dixie Cups, "The Clapping Song", by Shirley Ellis & "Mockingbird", by Inez & Charlie Foxx . Dave Robinson at Stiff Records, the band's record company, suggested that the band did covers to attract audiences, and then after three covers write their own song and it would be a hit . This happened to be true when the band released Sign Of The Times, which was likely because of the band's backup covers . </P>
