Album information
In 1987 Simon Cowell, then a talent scout, became closely associated with record producer Pete Waterman and would spend time with Waterman at his PWL studios complex, being mentored by him and learning about the effective running of a successful music business.
Around this time Cowell was desperate for Stock Aitken Waterman (SAW) to write and produce for Sinitta. "Feels Like The First Time", Sinitta's subsequent single following "So Macho", had charted low (number 45 UK Oct 1986) and only spent 5 weeks on the chart, whereas, in contrast, "So Macho" had been on the UK chart for 28 weeks in 1986, where it had peaked at number 2. Initially Waterman declined to work with Sinitta, claiming that SAW were too busy. In the end though, SAW did work with Sinitta and her first single with the Hit Factory was "Toy Boy".
In his book, Simon Cowell claims to have come up with the song idea for "Toy Boy", coining the phrase 'toy boy' which described older women dating considerably younger guys. However, this is contradicted by writer/producer Mike Stock in his book The Hit Factory - The Stock Aitken Waterman Story as he claims that his inspiration came from the fact that Sinitta herself at the time was dating a younger man. Whichever way the story goes, "Toy Boy" was a massive hit reaching number 4 in the UK in July 1987, staying on the charts for 14 weeks. The song was the 26th best-selling single of 1987 in the UK, selling more than some number ones from that year, including Michael Jackson and Siedah Garrett with "I Just Can't Stop Loving You" and Steve 'Silk' Hurley with "Jack Your Body".

Right Back Where We Started From
by: SinittaOh and it's all right
And it's comin' on
We gotta get right back
To where we started from
Love is good
Love can be strong
We gotta get right back
To where we started from
Ooh ooh
Do you remember that day
(that sunny day)
When you first
Came my way
I said no one could take
Your place
And if you get hurt
(if you get hurt)
By the little things I say
I can put that smile back
On your face
Oh and it's all right
And it's comin' on
We gotta get right back
To where we started from
Love is good
Love can be strong
We gotta get right back
To where we started from
Ooh ooh
A love like ours
(a love like ours)
Can never fade away
You know It's only just begun
So you give me your love
(give me your love)
I just can't stay away
I know you are the only one
Oh and it's all right
And it's comin' on
We gotta get right back
To where we started from
Love is good
Love can be strong
We gotta get right back
To where we started from
Ooh ooh
So give me your love
You know I just can't
Stay away, no
