"Chain Reaction" is a song by Diana Ross, written by the Bee Gees, who also provided the backing vocals for the single. The track was released on the album Eaten Alive in 1985 and as a single the following year.
According to the Gibbs biography, the brothers had initial reservations about offering the song to Diana in case it was too Motown for her.
The single became her first #1 single in the UK since I'm Still Waiting in 1971. The song also reached #1 in Australia and was the top selling single of the year (1986) in that country. The song fared less well in the USA where it initially peaked at #95 on the Billboard Hot 100 late in 1985. A few months later, a remixed version of the song was issued as a single (Ross performed this version of the song on the American Music Awards, which she hosted that year). The new version re-entered the chart and performed better, but with the diminished momentum, it stalled at #66.
In 2001, British pop group Steps covered "Chain Reaction". The song reached #2 in the UK. The song was performed by the Top 4 Finalists on American Idol (season 6).
Australian group Young Divas recorded a cover of the song for their second album New Attitude, released in 2007.
