Cutting Crew | I Just Died In Your Arms (1986)

"(I Just) Died in Your Arms" is the debut single by English rock band Cutting Crew, from their debut album, Broadcast (1986).

The song was written by lead vocalist Nick Van Eede, inspired by a phrase he uttered while having sex with his ex-girlfriend. "(I Just) Died in Your Arms" is a power ballad that incorporates elements of synth-rock, new wave, and progressive rock.

The lyrics employ the concept of la petite mort as a metaphor for sexual transcendence, while depicting the internal conflict of a man facing the overwhelming power of love: experiencing orgasm yet feeling helpless, knowing he should desist but finding himself unable to walk away.
