[ [http://www.chartstats.com/songinfo.php?id=8721 Chartstats.com | "January February" Chart details] ] It was Dickson's biggest hit since "Answer Me" in 1976 and would be her biggest until the No.1 hit "I Know Him So Well" in 1985. The song signalled a new direction in her career, moving into a more mainstream pop genre. Hit producer Alan Tarney wrote and produced the track, who had recently resurrected Cliff Richard's career with "We Don't Talk Anymore".
