I call you when I need you, my heart's on fire
You come to me, come to me wild and wild
When you come to me
Give me everything I need

Turner's signature anthem is broadly charting today, tracked across 129 country and platform charts after a brief absence. Originally cut by Bonnie Tyler in 1988, the song became Turner's own with the 1989 release of Foreign Affair, reaching number five in the UK and cementing itself as her late-career calling card, per Smooth. Its afterlife has been long and strange: a terrace anthem for Glasgow Rangers via a BBC highlight package during the club's nine-in-a-row run, and a song so embedded in British public life that King Charles III had it performed during the changing of the guard as a tribute, according to Wikipedia. Two years after her death, the Chapman-Knight composition remains durable — a simple, maximalist power ballad that has outlived nearly everything around it.
