1985 Pointer Sisters – Dare Me (US:#11 UK:#17)
“Dare Me” is a 1985 song originally by American contemporary R&B group the Pointer Sisters, issued by RCA Records.
“Dare Me” was written by Nashville-based songwriters Sam Lorber and Dave Innis in 1984. Innis, who shortly afterwards became a founding member of Restless Heart, was then a staff writer for Warner Bros. music publishing division, and recalls that “Dare Me” was written with the Pointer Sisters in mind, adding: “typically look at who’s recording now and what kind of material are they looking for, and we would tailor a song for a particular artist and pitch it”…”Sam Lorber and I…did try to put ourselves in the place of what a gal might be thinking…not specifically trying to be a Pointer Sister, but a song written from a female perspective, for sure. There are certain things that are more gender specific and gender appropriate…certain things that a woman can say that a guy’s not going to be able to get away with saying.”
