"Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now" is a song co-written by Diane Warren and Albert Hammond[4] and recorded by American rock band Starship for their second studio album, No Protection (1987). It is a power ballad[5] duet featuring vocalists Grace Slick and Mickey Thomas and is the theme to the romantic-comedy film Mannequin.[6][7]
The song reached number one on the US Billboard Hot 100, Warren's first single to do so. Elsewhere, "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now" topped the charts in Canada, the Republic of Ireland and the United Kingdom, where it became the second-best-selling song of 1987. "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now" received a nomination for Best Original Song at the 60th Academy Awards.

The end result is a fairly generic piece of '80s synth-rock, but it's the good kind of generic.
