"After All" is a ballad performed as a duet by American singer and actress Cher and American singer Peter Cetera, released in 1989. It was used as the love theme for the movie Chances Are and was also the first US single release from Cher's 28th album Heart of Stone.
The single peaked at number six in the United States and Canada, the only two countries where the song was officially released. However, it did manage to enter some European charts due to airplay, including Ireland, where it peaked at 24, and the United Kingdom, where it made it made to 84.[1]
"After All" also became Cher's first number one hit on the Adult Contemporary chart in the United States. Although the song found strong success in the United States, no video was ever made.
- Side Note: Cher and Peter never recorded in the same studio. Each track was recorded separately then mixed together.
[edit] Live Performances
There is no footage of Cher and Cetera ever performing this song live together.
Cher did perform a solo version of the song during her Heart Of Stone and Love Hurts tours. She then performed it with her keyboardist/musical director, Paul Mirkovich, for her Believe and Farewell tours. These particular performances would accompany a video montage of Cher in film, which would start before the song begins.
