"Straight Ahead" is best known for its tweeky synthesizer melodic sound and a computerized female vocal (provided by Winstanley) chanting the chorus "...straight ahead...in one direction..." throughout the entire song. The single also gave Hynde her first ever number one single in Billboard magazine, where it reached the top spot on the magazine's Hot Dance Airplay chart.

Although the track charted in English, the duo also recorded a German-language version.
