"We All Sleep Alone" is the second official single from American singer and actress Cher's self-titled eighteenth album, Cher (1987),released on January 28,1988 by Geffen Records. The song was written and produced by Desmond Child,Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora. It was remixed over a decade later by Todd Terry for her 1998 album Believe . The single was also released on VHS containing the music video,as directed by Cher herself.
AllMusic highlighted the song on her 1987 self-titled album. [3] Jonh Wilde from Melody Maker commented,"Sleeping alone is really complete crap when you think about it. Also,I'm not sure what Cher is trying to say in the title. Sounds like a bit of a lie to me. The song has an intriguing Death Row atmosphere to it,by the way." [4]
