"Danger Zone" is a Sammy Hagar solo album, his last new studio album during his tenure with Capitol records. The album features appearances by former Journey singer Steve Perry and Journey guitarist Neal Schon.

Song Information

* "Love Or Money" was a favorite of John Kalodner, which helped serve as a catalyst in getting Sammy signed to the then new Geffen Records.
* The track "In The Night (Entering The Danger Zone)" was inspired by the film "Lucifer Rising".
* "Heartbeat" is the second track that Sammy shares a writing credit with his then-wife, Betsy. The first was "Wounded In Love" off the Street Machine album.
*"Run For Your Life" is a cover of a song off of the self-titled debut album from the band Runner. The version here, features former Journey singer Steve Perry on back-up vocals.
