In Your Room (The Bangles song)
"In Your Room" is a 1988 song by American rock group The Bangles, written by Susanna Hoffs in collaboration with Billy Steinberg and composer Tom Kelly. The song was released as the first single from the band's third album, Everything. It reached the top five of the US singles chart, and also charted in Australia, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom. Background "In Your Room" was written around the same time as "Eternal Flame," according to Billy Steinberg. "Right from the get go The Bangles were a retro '60s kind of band. They loved '60s music, obscure groups like The Merry Go Round," Steinberg told Songfacts. "The Bangles liked everything from Petula Clark to The Beatles ... So when we got together to write with Susanna it was right up our alley because of course Tom and I grew up in the '60s and that was what we loved. [W]e had that in common with Susanna." He added that the song's style was somewhat similar to "Mony Mony," the 1968 hit single by Tommy James and the Shondells.
