They had stardom and they knew they wanted to keep the Big Life - which is exactly why their 1987 follow-up to Seven Wishes sounds so stilted. In many ways, the record's first single encapsulates what was wrong with the album. Functioning as both the lead single and the theme to the Michael J. Fox yuppie comedy, "The Secret of My Success" found Night Ranger turning down the metal in favor of glossy, radio-ready pop hooks that never quite hooked.

Night Ranger's popularity solidified with their second album, Midnight Madness, which pushed the band from opening act to headliner status by the summer of 1984. Apart from "Rock in America," Midnight Madness spun off two hit ballads: "When You Close Your Eyes" ( and "Sister Christian," ( written and sung by Kelly Keagy for his younger sister, Christine. Sung by Keagy, "Carry On" was most reminiscent of classic Night Ranger, and featured as the flip side of "Secret of My Success. None of the chosen Big Life singles hit the Top 40. "Secret of My Success" stalled just short of hit single status at on Billboard's Hot 100 despite heavy MTV rotation in the spring of 1987.
