Meat Loaf\u00a0<\/strong>scored his one and only #1 song with the track \u201c<\/span>I\u2019d Do Anything For Love (But I Won\u2019t Do That)<\/strong><\/span><\/a>,\u201d from his multi-Platinum album\u00a0<\/span>Bat Out of Hell II: Back into Hell,\u00a0<\/span><\/em>the sequel to his 1977 debut,\u00a0<\/span>Bat Out Of Hell.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

The track, written by\u00a0Jim Steinman<\/strong>, who penned Meat Loaf\u2019s other classic tunes \u201cParadise by the Dashboard Light\u201d and \u201cTwo Out of Three Ain\u2019t Bad,\u201d featured singer\u00a0Lorraine Crosby\u00a0<\/strong>and had an album run time of over 12 minutes.<\/span><\/p>\n

The song went to #1 in 28 countries and was certified Platinum in the United States. It also earned Meat Loaf a Grammy Award for Best Rock Vocal Performance, Solo.<\/span><\/p>\n

The song’s lyric “I’d do anything for love, but I won’t do that” left fans wondering what the “that” was,\u00a0with Meat Loaf saying it was one of the most common questions he was asked. He later explained it was just a repetition of the things he said he’d never do earlier in the song.<\/span><\/p>\n
