The Pretenders' "Middle of the Road" earned heavy airplay on MTV when the video was released late in 1983, prior to the January 1984 release of the album, "Learning to Crawl". Singer-guitarist Chrissie Hynde, a first-time mom prior to the release of the album, came up with the album title in reference to her newborn daughter.
"Middle", meanwhile, does address some socio-political themes of the period.
