Squier began writing songs for his fourth album Signs of Life in late 1983 after finishing his first headlining arena tour. In need of as perfect “extra set of ears” as possible, he planned Robert John “Mutt” Lange – the man behind Def Leppard’s wildly successful Pyromania – to produce the product. However, Lange was already reserved by The Cars and suffered a breakdown afterward, which prompted him to withdraw completely from the project Squier to hire a new co-producer just a few days before the sessions were set to start. He then brought in famed songwriter and producer Jim Steinman, who was better known for his grandiose ballads and operatic rock n’ roll songs as well as some of the biggest pop hits of early 80’s. Both Squier’s older fans and the music press reacted demurely to the Squier-Steinman team up, but since Squier admired Steinman’s work on Meat Loaf’s Bat Out of Hell – which he had described as “the most passionate and exciting rock record of our time” – and Steinman himself was willing to work again with a rock band, Squier stuck with him. Steinman showed great enthusiasm for the project and he got well along with Squier and his band, despite his role in the studio being significantly smaller than usually. The resulting album was a departure from Squier’s typical guitar-heavy hard rock into a more keyboard oriented style, with hints of Steinman’s wagnerian producing approach.
