[edit] Song Information

The single peaked at number six in the United States and Canada, the only two countries where the song was officially released. However, it did manage to enter some European charts due to airplay, including Ireland, where it peaked at 24, and the United Kingdom, where it reached 84.

"After All" also became Cher's first number one hit on the Adult Contemporary chart in the United States. The song found strong success stateside, but no video was ever made to further promote it.

[edit] Live Performances

Peter Cetera and Cher recorded this song separately. There is no footage of Cher and Cetera ever performing this song live together.

Cher performed a solo version of the song during her Heart Of Stone and Love Hurts tours. She then performed it with her keyboardist/musical director, Paul Mirkovich, for her Believe and Farewell tours. She currently performs it in her latest concert Cher at the Colosseum. These particular performances would accompany a video montage of Cher in film, which would start before the song begins.
