Big Life is the fourth studio album by Night Ranger, released in 1987. It featured the single "The Secret of My Success", which was written for the 1987 film of the same name starring Michael J. Fox. The single flopped, stalling outside the Top 40, peaking at #64. It was a top twenty hit on the Mainstream Rock charts though, hitting number 12 and was one of the most played videos in the spring of 1987 on MTV. "Hearts Away" was the second single/video and peaked at #90 on the Hot 100 chart. The third single/video, "Color of Your Smile" failed to chart in the U.S. at all.
