Wikipedia article
"'Head over Heels'" is a song by the all-female pop rock/new wave band the Go-Go's, released in 1984 as the first single from their third studio album, 'Talk Show'. The song was written by Charlotte Caffey and Kathy Valentine, and produced by English record producer Martin Rushent. The Go-Gos' rhythm guitarist Jane Wiedlin has cited "Head over Heels" as her favorite Go-Go's song, describing it as "just a classic. Like a little pop truffle of chocolate that's just completely delicious."
Reception
The song was the most successful of the album's three singles, peaking at number 11 on the US 'Billboard' Hot 100.[Joel Whitburn's Top Pop Singles 1955-2002] It also spent three weeks at number 10 on the US 'Cash Box' Top 100.[http://tropicalglen.com/Archives/80s_files/19840526.html Cash Box Top 100 Singles, May 26, 1984]
'Cash Box' said that the song demonstrates that the group has lost none of their vitality and energy and that "Belinda Carlisle's voice seems to have taken on a deeper, richer resonance that marks the bands maturation as recording artists."
