“Time After Time” was nominated for “Song of the Year” at the 1985 Grammy Awards. The ballad is considered a classic of the 1980s and is still played frequently on adult contemporary radio. It has been covered by numerous artists.
Writing
Lauper co-wrote “Time After Time” with Philadelphia rocker Rob Hyman of The Hooters, who also supplied backup vocals to the song. In a 2006 interview with Sound Off with Matt Pinfield (episode 212) on HDNet, Lauper related how the song was written. She indicated much of the lyrics were written about occurrences in the studio and her life at the time. The line “the second hand unwinds” referred to producer Rick Chertoff’s watch which was winding backwards.
Hyman explained in an interview with Songfacts that he and Lauper stayed in the studio after the sessions composing the song.
Music video
The video for “Time After Time” was about a runaway leaving her lover behind. The video opens with Lauper watching the 1936 film The Garden of Allah. Lauper signs the title of the song to the deaf as she is leaving the train station. The video was played in heavy rotation on MTV.
