- "Rhythm of the Night" (1985) One of Warren's first major hits, written for the Berry Gordy martial arts cult classic The Last Dragon, "Rhythm of the Night" is a tropical-flavored happiness booster.
- "Don't Turn Around" (1986) Tina Turner sang the original version of this song — a Warren/Albert Hammond creation — and it's a revelation. In Turner's hands, it becomes dramatic and high-stakes, a fist-pumping slow rocker for the ages, filled with real emotion and energy.
- "I Get Weak" (1987) "I Get Weak" was the second single from Heaven on Earth, Belinda Carlisle's second, post-Go Go's, solo album. Here, a red-headed Carlisle finds a perfect match in Warren's jukebox love song, which, like a lot of '80s pop, strongly echoes '50s music.
- "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now" (1987) As the theme for Mannequin, the Andrew McCarthy/Kim Cattrall movie about a man who falls in love with a... mannequin (begging the question, WTF was wrong with people in the '80s) this song rises above its source material, earning Warren her first of many Oscar nominations.
