The song was written by Allee Willis and David Lasley: (Allee Willis quote:) "David and I were just writing all the time, and there was a song out called Emotion by Samantha Sang that we both really loved. So we said: 'Let?s write something in that spirit.' I was going through a huge breakup at the time, so for me [Lead Me On] was just a completely autobiographical song. Lead Me On was introduced on Love Lines which was Nightingale's third album for United Artists Records. In all, Lead Me On spent seven weeks atop the AC chart (for the weeks of July 7, 14, and 21; August 4, 11, and 18; and September 1). On the Billboard Hot 100, Lead Me On peaked at No. 5, while reaching No. 37 on the R B chart. Despite the fact that it was an AC song, it enjoyed better success in Canada, where it reached No. 2 on the pop singles chart and spent 4 non-consecutive weeks at No. 1 on the RPM Dance Music Chart. Nightingale herself would describe Lead Me On as (Maxine Nightingale quote:) "[a] sweet, simple little song", adding that its being chosen as a single was a decision with which she had disagreed.
