Content

The song is a love ballad, and an example of the pop-styled aspect of Alabama's core musical style.

Music video

The music video was directed by David Hogan and premiered in early 1985.

A record tied

When "There's No Way" reached No. 1 on the Billboard magazine Hot Country Singles chart in May 1985, it became Alabama's 16th straight No. 1 single in as many single releases (excepting for the 1982 Christmas single "Christmas in Dixie"). The feat allowed Alabama to tie Sonny James' 14-year-old record for most No. 1 songs in as many consecutive single releases.
