Loverboy is a Canadian rock band formed in 1979 in Calgary, Alberta. Their hit singles, “Turn Me Loose” and “Working for the Weekend,” have become arena rock staples. They were rejected from many record labels and eventually were signed with Columba/CBS records. Throughout the 1980s, Loverboy accumulated numerous hit songs and earned four multi-platinum albums, selling millions of records.
“Turn Me Loose” was released on Loverboy’s eponymous debut album in 1980, and as a single in 1981. Guitarist Paul Dean shares the story behind the video and the meaning of the song: “…The director thought the song was a parody. He didn’t take the lyrics serious. We wrote the lyrics serious - it was a put-down to this girl. It’s all fiction…that’s why they call it ‘creative writing’ you know? …his take was ‘This should be a comedy.’ Who are we to argue? We were a fledgling thing… We were just thrilled to be asked because we knew the marketing value of MTV.”
