Background

The only single from the eponymous album released the same year, it is the song that helped the band launch its international career. By that time, INXS had already had three years of experience and already released the debut single "Simple Simon".

"Just Keep Walking" is also the subject of the group's first music video, shot like a live performance in a minimalist setting: white background and INXS logo on the black floor.{{cite web |last1=La Terra |first1=Monique |title=10 Classic INXS Songs You Should Listen to Right Now |url=https://theculturetrip.com/pacific/australia/articles/10-classic-inxs-songs-you-should-listen-to-right-now/ |publisher=Culture Trip |access-date=17 July 2023 |language=en |date=16 October 2017}}
