If you leave by OMD

Today, we’re taking a trip back to the heart of the 80s with a track that’s as iconic as the decade itself: “If You Leave” by Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (OMD).

For those who lived through the era of big hair, neon colors, and the rise of synth-pop, “If You Leave” is likely etched into your memory.

Released in 1986, it was the song from the soundtrack of the quintessential John Hughes film, Pretty in Pink. And boy, did it capture the film’s angst and romance perfectly.
