Be Good to Yourself
"Be Good to Yourself" is a song by Journey from their ninth studio album, ''Raised on Radio''. Released in 1986 as the first single from the album, the song went Top 10 on the U.S. ''Billboard'' Hot 100 and to date is the band's last to do so.
==Background==
The single heralded the band's first new album in three years, as singer Steve Perry had taken time off for a hit solo album and had appeared on 1985's "We Are the World", while guitarist Neal Schon had recorded a one-off album as part of Hagar Schon Aaronson Shrieve.
The title owes itself to a sort of mantra of Perry's at the time, which keyboardist Jonathan Cain jotted down in his notes during writing sessions for the album. Calling it a "Perry-ism" in the liner notes to 1992's box set ''Time3'', Cain explains, "With his own domestic situation in disarray and his mother slowly dying, Perry needed life affirming messages." Still, a complete song eluded the band for five months before coming together in a sudden moment of inspiration in the shower for Cain on the very day they were booked to finish the record; Perry was equally inspired, working out his entire finished vocals in under an hour. "Be Good to Yourself" has words by Steve Perry and Jonathan Cain and music by Perry, Cain and Neal Schon, who are the only members of Journey to appear on the single. The 1980s saw advanced new technological approaches to writing and recording music, which resulted in the departure of founding member Ross Valory, the band's bassist, and drummer Steve Smith, replaced with studio musicians for the album and tour including drummer Larrie Londin and bassist Randy Jackson. "Be Good to Yourself" was the first release following this development, and was produced by Perry and mixed by Bob Clearmountain.
