5 Things to Know About Pet Shop Boys Producing Eighth Wonder’s I’m Not Scared

Pet Shop Boys produced Eighth Wonder’s hit “I’m Not Scared.” Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe wrote and produced the track for the British pop group.

The song was released in 1988 and became Eighth Wonder’s biggest success. It reached the top 10 in several countries, including the UK and Germany.

Pet Shop Boys originally wrote the song for themselves. They decided to give it to Eighth Wonder after hearing lead singer Patsy Kensit’s vocals.

The production features Pet Shop Boys’ signature synth-pop sound. The track includes a driving beat, layered synthesizers, and Tennant’s backing vocals.

Eighth Wonder’s version differs from Pet Shop Boys’ own later recording. Pet Shop Boys released their own version in 1989, which has a darker, more electronic arrangement.
