Lennox and Stewart returned to a rock/R&B sound for the album, and "Revival" is an uptempo tune which lyrically is a call for renewal and encouragement. The single reached number 26 in the UK, and was the duo's sixteenth (and final) top 20 single in Australia. "Revival" was not released as a single in the United States. In 1990, there was a cover version in Cantonese titled 乖乖 by Yolinda Yan that reached number 3 in the pop charts in Hong Kong.[citation needed]
