This song was written by Foreigner guitarist Mick Jones and lead singer Lou Gramm. Mick Jones states: That song stemmed from an experience that we had, I think it was in Cincinnati. Wed gone to the arena for a sound check, and it was pouring down rain, and there were a bunch of fans waiting at the door when we went in. When we came back for the show later on, all that was left was one lonely fan, a young guy waiting out there in the rain, soaked to the skin. I thought, well, hes waiting like five hours here, maybe well take him in and give him a glimpse of what happens backstage at a show. And this kid was just mesmerized with everything. I saw this look in his eyes, and I thought, hes seeing this for the first time, hes having this experience. And I just imagined what was going through his mind. And Id been toying with this title, Juke Box Hero, I thought it was almost a satire on what we did and how it was perceived from an audience level, and public. Thats how it originated.
