Raised on Radio was released three years after Frontiers (1983). In 1984, both lead guitarist Neal Schon and lead singer Steve Perry released albums on their own; Schon in the band HSAS (Through the Fire), and Perry with his debut solo album, Street Talk. Perry considered leaving Journey following the release of Street Talk which he has referred to as "one of the most fun experiences I've had". Perry decided to return to working with Journey when he received a call from keyboardist Jonathan Cain, who wanted him to work on some unfinished songs.[9]
Following Perry's return to Journey, he began to take more control over the band's direction. Bassist Ross Valory and drummer Steve Smith were fired from the band, against the wishes of manager Herbie Herbert. According to Perry, Valory and Smith "weren't pleased with the kind of music we were playing and weren't too keen on touring".[9] Smith later said of the initial recording process: "There was a lot of pressure to do it the way Steve Perry wanted, which I had a lot of problems with because I felt it should be a group record, like all the other records."[10] Valory and Smith were replaced by various studio musicians for the recording of Raised on Radio, including Randy Jackson (bass guitar) and Larrie Londin (drums). In the VH-1 Behind the Music episode featuring the band, Perry expressed regret over his decision, stating he'd have done things differently. Smith did record three tracks with Journey on the album, and he and Valory still received revenues from the record and subsequent tour. Both returned to Journey in 1995.
The band decided that Perry, who had proved his production capabilities on Street Talk, was the best fit to produce the album. According to Perry, this gave the rest of the band members as much creative control as possible: "Journey knows what it should sound like, so we all agreed I would be a good, safe, nondictator-type producer."[9]
Perry changed the original title of this project from Freedom to Raised on Radio, which drew the ire of Herbert and some of the band members, as it varied from the one-word general theme in most of their previous albums.[11] The band would end up using the Freedom title 36 years later for their fifteenth studio album.
Studio drummer Mike Baird and bassist/backing vocalist Randy Jackson played in place of Smith and Valory on the subsequent tour.
lyrics:
Emergency breakthrough
There's no way to reach you
There's somebody else I'll turn to
She (she's) has got the positive touch (touch)
She's bringing love back to me, yeah, back to me. I said--
She, (she's) to me means so much (much)
She's saving it all for me, yeah
I'm missin' your touch, you're wondering where I've been
No, it's never enough, you're pushing me to the end
You won't break his heart, no...
She's not like you are, no...
Girl, I'm lettin' your love, go...
She, (she's) has got the positive touch (touch)
She's bringing love back to me, yeah, I said back to me
I said she (she) to me means so much
She's saving it all for me
You won't break his heart, no...
She's not like you are, no...
Girl, I'm lettin' your love, go...
Baby...oh bye-bye baby
Girl, now that you're here
In my arms, love is here to stay
Eyes of blue, good-bye yesterday
Love is here to stay
Eyes of blue, good-bye yesterday
