"'In All the Right Places'" is a song recorded by British singer, songwriter and actress Lisa Stansfield for the 1993 drama film 'Indecent Proposal', starring Robert Redford and Demi Moore. It was released as a lead single in the United Kingdom on 24 May 1993 and in other European countries in July 1993. The lyrics were written by Lisa Stansfield, Ian Devaney and Andy Morris, and the music was composed by John Barry, who created the soundtrack for the film. Devaney and Morris also produced the song which received positive reviews from music critics. It reached number eight in the United Kingdom and Ireland.

The Soul Mix of "In All the Right Places" was included on Stansfield's next studio album, 'So Natural' which was released in November 1993. Ten years later, "In All the Right Places" was also featured on 'Biography: The Greatest Hits' (2003). In 2014, the soundtrack version of "In All the Right Places" was included on the deluxe 2CD + DVD re-release of 'So Natural' (also on 'The Collection 19892003'). The song was nominated for Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Original Song.

Critical reception



Quentin Harrison from Albumism called it one of the album's "most significant compositions", noting that Stansfield "vocally burns the house" on the song. Larry Flick from 'Billboard' complimented it as a "shimmering pop ballad fueled by Stansfield's positively flawless vocal and an arrangement reminiscent of vintage compositions." He noted that it "builds from a quiet place to a climax that will leave you with goosebumps." Ken Capobianco from 'The Boston Globe' deemed it a "solid new track" that "continues her successful streak of sultry pop soul."Capobianco, Ken (20 May 1993). "Various Artists Indecent Proposal: Original Soundtrack". p. 8. 'The Boston Globe'. Music writer James Masterton stated in his weekly UK chart commentary, "If ever a record was born to be No.1 this has to be it." Alan Jones from 'Music Week' rated it four out of five, adding that "this typically soulful and sophisticated performance lacks the power of some of her previous singles". James Hamilton from the magazine's 'RM' Dance Update described it as an "attractive" and "swaying" ballad. R.S. Murthi from 'New Straits Times' stated that Stansfield "acquits herself with style and grace" on tunes like "In All the Right Places".

Music video



A black-and-white music video was produced to promote the single, directed by English photographer Nick Brandt. It depicts Stansfield lying on a divan while she performs the song. In between, there are clips from the 'Indecent Proposal' movie (also they are in black-and-white). In other scenes, the singer stands in the room and/or leans towards the wall. Later she is seen hovering in the air over the divan, while she sings. As the video ends, Stansfields again lies on the divan. It was later published on Stansfield's official YouTube channel in November 2009. The video has amassed more than 750,000 views as of September 2021.
