Released as a single in January of 1987, it hit #1 in the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 on April 4, 1987. It also reached #1 on the UK Official Chart for four weeks the following month, eventually becoming the UK's 2nd biggest selling single of 1987. At the time, it made Grace Slick the oldest female artist to have a number one single in the United States, though the record was later broken by Cher's "Believe" in 1998. The song also received a nomination for Best Original Song at the 60th Academy Awards.
In a radio interview, Albert Hammond said that the idea for the song came from his impending marriage to his live-in girlfriend of 7 years, after his divorce from his previous wife was finalized. He had said to Diane Warren, "It's almost like they've stopped me from marrying this woman for seven years, and they haven't succeeded. They're not gonna stop me doing it."
Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now
Starship Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This world that I've found is too good to be true
Standing here beside you, want so much to give you
This love in my heart that I'm feeling for you
Let 'em say we're crazy, I don't care about that
Put your hand in my hand, baby, don't ever look back
Let the world around us just fall apart
And we can build this dream together
Standing strong forever
Nothing's gonna stop us now
And if this world runs out of lovers
We'll still have each other
Nothing's gonna stop us
Nothing's gonna stop us now, no
I'm so glad I found you, I'm not gonna lose you
Whatever it takes, I will stay here with you
Take it to the good times, see it through the bad times
Whatever it takes is what I'm gonna do
Let 'em say we're crazy, what do they know?
Put your arms around me, baby, don't ever let go
Let the world around us just fall apart
Baby, we can make it if we're heart to heart
And we can build this dream together
Standing strong forever
Nothing's gonna stop us now
And if this world runs out of lovers
We'll still have each other
Nothing's gonna stop us
Nothing's gonna stop us
Oh, all that I need is you, baby
You're all that I ever need
And all that I want to do
Is hold you forever, forever and ever
Hey
And we can build this dream together
Standing strong forever
Nothing's gonna stop us now
And if this world runs out of lovers
We'll still have each other
Nothing's gonna stop us
Nothing's gonna stop us
(Build this dream together)
(Standing strong forever) hey, baby
(Nothing's gonna stop us now)
Nothing gonna stop us now
(World runs out of lovers) I know
(We'll still have each other)
(Nothing's gonna stop us) yeah
(Build this dream together) hey, baby
(Standing strong forever) hey, babe
(Nothing's gonna stop us now) hey, baby
Nothing's gonna stop us
(World runs out of lovers) hey
(We'll still have each other) ooh
(Nothing's gonna stop us) hey
Nothing's gonna stop us now, yeah
(build this dream together)
(Standing strong forever)
(Nothing's gonna stop us now)
I know (world runs out of lovers)
(We'll still have each other)

Nothing's gonna stop us
