Various artists auditioned to song writers/producers Tom Whitmore and Georgio Morroder to win the right to perform Take My Breath Away in the movie (and release it as a single). Martha Davis from the Motels and Patty Smythe were in the running. But Terri Nunn from Berlin, who hated love songs and had never released a ballad before, took home the honors by performing the song tragically, like a desperate woman at the end of her rope, as opposed to passionately like the other women did; this won the producers over and landed her the song, which became her biggest hit.
