Released: November 8, 1985

Songwriter: Carl Wurtz

Producer: George Tobin

[Verse 1: Ralph Tresvant]
Girl, if ever the going got rough
You never
Were the type to think of backing down
So when you got more than your share
In a minute, I knew your heart was in it
I knew that it would make you be your best
Put you to the test
But if sometimes it seems not worth the battle
That's when you'll see
You can count on me

[Chorus: Ralph Tresvant & New Edition]
'Cause I'm with you all the way
I'll never give up this dream
Although it may seem
There's no way out today (Oh, girl)
Yes, I'm with you all the way
Whatever places love might put us through
Remember I'm with you
With you all the way

[Verse 2: Ralph Tresvant]
When you see me
Your eyes say that you need me
But there's another feeling they can't hide
And it hurts so deep inside
To think maybe before I'd let you down
Won't you hear me out now
Believe me somehow

[Chorus: Ralph Tresvant & New Edition]
'Cause I'm with you all the way
I'll never give up the dream
Although it may seem
There's no way out today (Oh, girl)
Yes, I'm with you all the way
Whatever places love might put us through
Remember I'm with you
With you all the way

[Bridge: Ralph Tresvant]
I thought I'd never know just where to start
Delivering this promise from my heart
Holding you here in my arms
Has told me what to say, yeah

[Chorus: Ralph Tresvant & New Edition]
'Cause I'm with you all the way
I'll never give up the dream
Although it may seem
There's no way out today (Oh, girl)
Yes, I'm with you all the way
Whatever places love might put us through
Remember I'm with you
With you all the way

New Edition

New Edition is a Boston-based R&B group that was seen as the inspiration of the boy bands that followed them during the 1980s and 1990s. The group initially consisted of Ralph Tresvant, Bobby Brown, Ricky Bell, Michael Bivins, and Ronnie DeVoe. They released their debut album Candy Girl in 1983 after being discovered by producer Maurice Starr. This album yielded the hits “Candy Girl,” “Popcorn Love,” and “Is This the End.” After a financial dispute, New Edition cut ties with Starr and released their second album New Edition in 1984, which features two of their biggest “Cool It Now” and “Mr. Telephone Man.” In November 1985, they released All for Love featuring the hits “Count Me Out” and “A Little Bit of Love (Is All It Takes)” and one month later released Christmas All Over the World.

Before the end of 1985, the group decided to vote Bobby Brown out of the group for his disruptive behavior. After their 1986 doo-wop cover album Under the Blue Moon, lead singer Ralph Tresvant was considering a solo career as the group’s direction was in question. In 1987, Johnny Gill was added to the group and the quintet went on to create their most popular album Heart Break with producers Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis in 1988. This album was released on June 20, 1988—the same day as Bobby Brown’s Don’t Be Cruel—and features two more of their biggest “If It Isn’t Love” and “Can You Stand the Rain.”

In 1990, Ralph Tresvant, Johnny Gill and Bell Biv Devoe all went on to have successful hits. Among these hits was the remix to BBD’s “Word to the Mutha,” which was the first song to feature all six members. After a hiatus, all six members came together in 1996 to create the album Home Again, which hit #1 on the Billboard 200 and was a multi-platinum success. After some friction on the Home Again tour, Bobby Brown decided to depart the group again. In 2004, after leaving their longtime label MCA Records, New Edition signed with Bad Boy Records and released the album One Love but they left Bad Boy a year later due to a lack of promotion. The group continues to tour together and sell out shows after 30 years in the business. The group was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on January 23, 2017—one day ahead of the BET premiere of their 3-night mini-series The New Edition Story.
