"This Time I Know It's for Real" is a song by American singer-songwriter Donna Summer, released on February 13, 1989, as the first single from her 14th studio album, Another Place and Time (1989), by Atlantic Records and Warner Bros. Records. Like the rest of the album, the song was written and produced by the British Stock Aitken Waterman (SAW) team, though Summer also had a hand in writing this song.{{Cite web |title=A Journey Through Stock Aitken Waterman: Ep 45: This Time I Know It's For Real on Apple Podcasts |url=https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/ep-45-this-time-i-know-its-for-real/id1565879477?i=1000595932299 |access-date=January 24, 2023 |website=Apple Podcasts |language=en-AU}}

The song became Summer's biggest hit in the United Kingdom since 1979, reaching number three and spending a total of 14 weeks in the UK Singles Chart top 75. It reached number seven in both the United States and Canada, becoming Summer's 14th and final top-10 hit on the US Billboard Hot 100 as well as the last top-40 hit of her career. The song was also successful on the Billboard Hot Adult Contemporary chart, peaking at number two.

Background

Summer became aware of SAW after her husband, Bruce Sudano, drew her attention to their work during a visit to Europe. She was further encouraged by Rick Astley's subsequent success, saying she "loved his production". Hitting it off with the producers immediately, Summer recalled that the song came together on their first day working together, a rare case of "hitting the nail on the head the first time". While she was enthusiastic, her then US label boss David Geffen wanted a rockier sound with more guitars from the SAW sessions, a dictate which was immediately refused by Pete Waterman.

With Geffen Records ending her US deal due to an impasse over the new material, this was Summer's first US single to be released on Atlantic Records. Since 1980 she had been signed to Geffen, but her work across Europe had always been distributed by Warner Bros.' main label. This would continue to be the case following her signing to Atlantic.

Critical reception

=Initial response=

Alex Henderson from AllMusic described the song as a "exuberant, club-friendly Euro-dance/Hi-NRG" gem.{{cite web|first= Alex |last= Henderson |title= Donna Summer – Another Place and Time |publisher= AllMusic |access-date= November 8, 2020 |url= https://www.allmusic.com/album/another-place-and-time-mw0000199256}} Jim Arundel from Melody Maker declared it as "gloriously driven, simple, joyous and just a bit sad too."{{cite magazine|first=Jim|last=Arundel|magazine=Melody Maker|title=Albums|url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/nothingelseon/52250423145/|date=December 1, 1990|access-date=February 24, 2023}} Pan-European magazine Music & Media commented, "Very much a SAW production with Summer's voice adding a touch of class. Her first chance of a major hit since 1983's 'She Works Hard for the Money'."{{cite magazine|url=https://worldradiohistory.com/UK/Music-and-Media/80s/1989/M&M-1989-03-04.pdf|title=Previews: Singles|magazine=Music & Media|date=March 4, 1989|page=21|access-date=September 25, 2020}} Jerry Smith of Music Week described the song as an "irritatingly catchy, lightly soulful dance tune that is sure of a high chart placing".{{cite magazine |first=Jerry |last=Smith |title= Singles |magazine= Music Week |date=25 February 1989 |page=25 |accessdate=29 August 2023 |url=https://worldradiohistory.com/UK/Music-Week/1989/MW-1989-02-25.pdf}}

=Impact and legacy=

In 2014, Matt Dunn of WhatCulture ranked the song at number 11 in his "15 unforgettable Stock Aitken Waterman singles" list, stating that he found the lyrics "simple enough" and the video "odd", as it shows "people jumping up and down, bootscooters, clapping hands, spinning train conductors, flamenco dancers, people swimming through lights and others dancing on top of trains and boats", but eventually considered that this SAW song contributed to "reviv[e] the career of a former disco diva".{{cite web|url=https://whatculture.com/music/15-unforgettable-stock-aitken-waterman-singles?page=6 |first=Matt |last=Dunn |title=15 unforgettable Stock Aitken Waterman singles |publisher=WhatCulture |date=16 January 2014 |accessdate=23 January 2024}} In its 2016 retrospective review, Pop Rescue also stated that the song "simply oozes S/A/W sound from the very first moment it bursts open with some very Rick Astley/Sonia-esque drums. This is textbook S/A/W and is absolutely flawless."{{cite web|url=https://poprescue.com/2016/01/06/pop-rescue-another-place-and-time-by-donna-summer-cd-1989/|title=Review: "Another Place And Time" by Donna Summer (CD, 1989)|work=Pop Rescue|date=January 6, 2016|access-date=September 25, 2020}} In 2021, British magazine Classic Pop ranked the song number nine in their list of "Top 40 Stock Aitken Waterman songs", underlining its success on the charts.{{cite magazine|url=https://www.classicpopmag.com/2021/08/stock-aitken-waterman-songs/|first=|last=|title=Top 40 Stock Aitken Waterman songs|magazine=Classic Pop|accessdate=August 27, 2021}} In 2022, Rick Henry Christopher from Vocal Media ranked the song Summer's 26th greatest song (out of 30), deeming it as "the standard Eurodisco SAW".{{cite news |title=30 Great Songs of Donna Summer |work=Vocal Media |first=Rick |last=Christopher |date=December 2022 |url=https://vocal.media/beat/30-great-songs-of-donna-summer-98ozqx0991|access-date=20 January 2025}} In 2023, Alexis Petridis of The Guardian listed the song at number eight in his "Stock Aitken Waterman's 20 greatest songs – ranked!", adding that it "is gleaming dance-pop with a nailed-on euphoric chorus".{{cite news |title=Stock Aitken Waterman's 20 greatest songs – ranked! |work=The Guardian |first=Alexis |last=Petridis |date=23 November 2023 |url=https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2023/nov/23/stock-aitken-watermans-20-greatest-songs-ranked |language=en-GB |issn=0261-3077 |access-date=16 January 2024}} In 2024, Thomas Curtis-Horsfall of UK station radio Smooth Radio listed the song at number ten in his list of Summer's 10 greatest songs, calling the association with SAW an "inspired decision".{{cite news |title=Donna Summer’s 10 greatest songs, ranked |work=Smooth Radio |first=Thomas |last=Curtis-Horsfall |date=1 August 2024 |url=https://www.smoothradio.com/features/top-songs/donna-summer-songs-best/ |language=en-GB |access-date=20 January 2025}}
