"Turn to You" is a 1984 single, released by the all-female pop band The Go-Go's. The song was the second single from the band's third album, Talk Show.
Written by Charlotte Caffey and Jane Wiedlin, the song is about Caffey's one-time boyfriend, baseball player Bob Welch.[1]
The song was later included in the jukebox musical Head over Heels that debuted on Broadway in 2018.
Music video
The song's music video, co-directed by Mary Lambert and Chris Gabrin,[2] featured a starring role for the then-up-and-coming actor Rob Lowe.[3] The band members all wear suits (except for drummer Gina Schock, who is wearing a colorful dress) as they perform the song at a formal teen dance which appears to be taking place in the early to mid-1960s. The band members also appear as party guests watching and dancing to the music.
