Release date: 1981
The song reached #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, #1 on the Billboard Rock Tracks chart and was the most successful single from the 4 album , though it was outsold by the album's later single, "Waiting for a Girl Like You". The song was Foreigner's second-best-selling single after "I Want to Know What Love Is".
The group wanted a "Junior Walker-style" sax solo for this record. When they took a break from recording, one of the members read in New York newspaper The Village Voice that Walker was performing that night mere blocks from the recording studio. Walker accepted their offer to play, and the recording of the sax solo was swift and without a hitch.

LYRICS
You're not shy, you get around
You want to fly, don't want your feet on the ground
You stay up, you won't come down
You want to live, you want to move to the sound
Got fire in your veins, burning hot, but you don't feel the pain
Your desire is insane, you can't stop until you do it again
But sometimes I wonder, as I look in your eyes
Maybe you're thinking of some other guy
But I know, yes I know how to treat you right
That's why you call me in the middle of the night, you say
It's urgent, so urgent, so urgent, just wait and see
How urgent my love can be, it's urgent
You play tricks on my mind, you're everywhere, but you're so hard to find
You're not warm, you're sentimental
You're so extreme, you can be so temperamental
But I'm not looking for a love that'll last
I know what I need and I need it fast
Yeah there's one thing in common that we both share
That's our need for each other anytime, anywhere
It gets urgent, so urgent, you know it's urgent
I want to tell you it's the same for me
So urgent, just wait and see, how urgent my love can be, it's urgent
You say it's urgent, make it fast, make it urgent
Do it quick, do it urgent, gotta run, make it urgent
Wait it quick, want it urgent, urgent, emergency, urgent, urgent, emergency
Urgent, urgent, emergency, urgent, urgent, emergency
So urgent, emergency
