Written by mega hit songwriter Diane Warren, this timeless pop rock song was released as the second single from Cher’s 1989 album “Heart of stone”.

The Grammy-winning song also reached number one in almost every country it charted, including United States, Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, Spain, France, Germany and Italy.
It was the first commercial recording to use Auto-Tune as a vocal effect.
3. I got you babe (with Sonny Bono)
Before established herself as a solo artist, Cher worked with Sonny Bono for one of the better rock-influenced acts of 60s-70s.
First single was the sweet and simple love duet “I got you babe”.
