"P.A.S.S.I.O.N." is the lead single from the eponymous debut album by the dance-rock band Rythm Syndicate. Written, arranged & produced by main vocalist Evan Rogers & guitarist/keyboardist Carl Sturken, the single was a smash on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number 2 in 1991.

Overview

The track uses a typical pop song structure and arrangement for most of each verse, but utilizes a spelling out of some words to match the cadence of the vocal; as in the end line of the second verse ("The S-E-X is just too good"). After the second verse, the chorus is repeated twice and leads into a bridge. This promptly melts into a screaming guitar solo. Nearly twenty seconds later, Rogers institutes a rap vocal, which dissipates into the chorus that repeats until the song fades out.
