Also a favourite track among Stock Aitken Waterman enthusiasts, the song also featured on the 2005 UK compilation album Stock Aitken Waterman Gold, one of just two tracks included that were not released as a single in the UK.

Waterman obliged and liked the result so much, he decided to release it as the lead into the release of Dean's second Stock Aitken Waterman-produced album Always in October 1988. Dean's version of "Turn It into Love" went on to peak at number 21 in the UK singles chart the same month. Although Hazell originally liked the song, she stated recently that it is her least favourite song to perform live.
