The song was written by Diane Warren, who said in a statement, “When I wrote ‘"Gonna Be You" for 80 for Brady, I wanted to write a song that celebrated these women's deep friendship. Since 80 was in the title I got a crazy idea, why not get some of the most iconic singers from the '80s, who are still amazing and always will be, to all sing it? Everyone I approached said yes and was just as excited as me!! I'm honored to have Dolly Parton, Belinda Carlisle, Cyndi Lauper, Gloria Estefan, and Debbie Harry on this song!! "Gonna Be You" is that song you want to sing along to with all your good friends!"
The single peaked at number 13 on the Billboard Digital Song Sales chart.
