Limahl made Don’t Suppose after parting ways with Kajagoogoo in summer 1983. “The album was co-produced by British producer Tim Palmer, who has since worked with music legends like U2, Robert Plant, Bowie, and Tears For Fears,” he said in a statement. “I rarely listen to it, but as this anniversary approached, I dared to stream it. It was extremely poignant because, at the time, I was in love with the wrong person. My young self was having the time of his life professionally but hurting a great deal personally. The upside is that the heartache provided good material for songwriting, hence a track on the album entitled I Was A Fool.”
Don’t Suppose is best known for the aforementioned The NeverEnding Story. As well as featuring in the film of the same name, it more recently found a whole army of new fans when it appeared in the final episode of the third season of Stranger Things. Following the season’s release on July 4, 2019, interest in the track surged; viewership of the original music video had increased by 800% within a few days according to YouTube, while Spotify reported an 825% increase in stream requests for the song. Limahl reflects, “I’m excited to imagine where and how the song will continue its journey. It’s amazing that it still feels relevant 40 years on. I’m not too shy to say how immensely proud I am of its achievements.”
