The album it was taken from, entitled "Anthem" (1981), reached No. 2 that same year, and also featured the hit "I Want to Be Free", which charted highly in the UK (No. 8), Ireland (No. 10) and South Africa (No. 10). "It was resonated with how I felt about my school years which was very strong even if I was only 22", Toyah said later. The singer felt "We Are" might have been released as a single too. "I think history would have been re-written and we would have played Wembley in 1982 instead of Hammersmith for two nights. This was discussed between Safari and the promoters, that I could have been the first female artist to play Wembley Arena, but everyone played safe. Back then there would have been an audience backlash if we released three songs off the same album, we'd have been accused of ripping the fans off, it just wasn't done", she said in 2011.
