The song
"Chain Reaction" is a song by American singer Diana Ross, released on November 12, 1985, by RCA and Capitol, as the second single from her sixteenth studio album, Eaten Alive (1985). The song was written by the Bee Gees and contains additional vocals from Barry Gibb. Sonically, "Chain Reaction" is an R&B and dance-pop song. According to the Gibbs' biography, the brothers had initial reservations about offering the song to Ross in case it was too Motown-like for her.

Neon and Memphis: a dark indigo ground, cyan, hot pink and yellow, a neon-tube display face, a geometric sans and hard square shadows.
