Professor Of Rock has released the video below, along with the following message:
"Up next, a #1 hit that took 10 years to write. Kevin Cronin of REO Speedwagon had the verses finished but he had been searching for the chorus for so long… he felt blocked. With pressure to write a hit for his band’s next album, he scheduled a writing session with a famous contemporary, but the morning of he canceled because he was physically sick! He was so frustrated that he stared cussing, screaming out to the muse, 'What is this song about?' Just then it him like a ton of bricks. Up next, the story of one of the 80s greatest #1 hits, 'Can’t Fight This Feeling', with an exclusive interview, and Kevin explains the cheesy, bubblegum lyric that’s he’s caught endless crap for! The story of an 80s power ballad."
