Pretenders are an English-American rock band formed in March 1978. They have become one of rock’s greatest all-time bands thanks to a knack for releasing hard-hitting, yet melodic, classics like “Don’t Get Me Wrong” and “Back on the Chain Gang.”
Their self-titled debut album was released in January 1980 and was a success in the United Kingdom and the United States, both critically and commercially. It is regarded as one of the best debut albums of all time and has been named one of the best albums of all time by VH1 (no. 52) and Rolling Stone (no. 155).

The second single was the album’s centerpiece ballad, “I’ll Stand by You”; this track received substantial airplay and was a top 10 success in the UK and top 20 in the US (No. 16 on the Billboard Hot 100|Billboard Hot 100) and in Canada.
