"We All Sleep Alone" is the second official single from American singer and actress Cher's self-titled eighteenth album, Cher (1987), released on January 28, 1988 by Geffen Records. The song was written and produced by Desmond Child, Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora. It was remixed over a decade later by Todd Terry for her 1998 album Believe. The single was also released on VHS containing the music video, as directed by Cher herself.
AllMusic highlighted the song on her 1987 self-titled album.[2] Jonh Wilde from Melody Maker commented, "Sleeping alone is really complete crap when you think about it. Also, I'm not sure what Cher is trying to say in the title. Sounds like a bit of a lie to me. The song has an intriguing Death Row atmosphere to it, by the way."[3]
