Background
Though it reached number 27 on the UK Singles Chart towards the end of 1985, "When a Heart Beats" marked the beginning of a downturn of Kershaw's fortunes on the singles charts, as it was the first time that a lead single from a Kershaw album failed to reach the top 20 in the UK; it also proved to be his last top-40 entry in the UK.
