老牌雷鬼團體UB40,在1993年以一首翻唱貓王Elvis Presley的"Can't Help Falling In Love",一舉拿下Billboard Hot 100與Dotmusic Single Chart雙料冠軍後再度翻紅,主唱Ali Campbell也在1995年趁勢推出首張個人專輯"Big Love"。
"Big Love"雖然是Ali Compbell的個人專輯,不過幾乎沿用了UB40的大部分班底,所以走的依然是他擅長的雷鬼曲風,輕快切分的節奏,加上傾述愛情美好的歌詞,讓整張專輯洋溢著濃濃的浪漫情調,其中與Pamela Starks合唱的"That Look In Your Eye"是本專輯中最具代表的一首情歌。
"That Look In Your Eye"是一首男女間傾吐彼此愛意情深的歌曲,不同於一般同類型情歌甜美黏膩的表現方式,是這支單曲最吸引筆者的地方;輕快的旋律配上分明的節奏,加上兩位歌手對唱時特意營造出勾引挑逗的情緒,讓人聽起來不會覺得太過濃烈甜蜜,卻又適切的將原本可能甜到膩死人的浪漫轉成一種期待的、渴望的深切愛意。
而這首歌的MV也令人非常印象深刻,巧妙的以沙漠與草原的交會,表達雙方情感在彼此心裡逐漸佔有一席之地,MV中從頭到尾兩人都是對立的方式進行著,完全沒有摟摟抱抱的場面,但最後卻各自被對方所象徵的現象包圍住行成一個愛心,融合在一起,唯一的接觸就只有最後那個牽手的動作,非常妙的一個MV。

Lyircs:
Show me a girl peace and harmony in her heart
When things go wrong there will be no falling apart
One who understands, that things aren't always gonna go right and
I'll show you a man who can show you the light
Show me a boy when the burden's on his shoulder
As time goes on seems to only make him bolder
Then I met you. Something that I can't explain
This feeling that I get is like I'm going insane
It's that look in your eyes, that say you love me
And all the silly things that you do
Those feelings that I get from the stars above me
Tells me you're for me And I'm the one for you
Hey, I thank you baby
I thank you baby I thank you
Show me a girl that can make me feel better
With a kiss sealed inside a perfumed letter
One who understands, when the tour is six months long,
And waiting with open arms, 'cos it's been too long
Show me a boy whose loving that I'm missing
Who can be there when I need someone to listen
One who keeps in mind that I should never be alone
Because I'll be there even if it's by telephone
It's that look in your eyes, that say you love me
And all the silly things that you do
Those feelings that I get when ever you're near me
Tells me you're for me And I'm the one for you
Yeah, I thank you baby I thank you baby
Yeah, I thank you baby
