Originally released as a single in 1981, it failed to chart and appeared remixed on the 1982 LP, Pleasure Victim. It was the third single from the album, released in April 1983.

Wikipedia: "The Metro" is a song written by John Crawford for his band, Berlin. It has been covered by a number of artists, including System of a Down, Alkaline Trio, John Frusciante, Hannah Fury and Idle Warship ... The Berlin recording is known for epitomizing the new wave genre as a blending of punk rock and pop, with heavy use of the Sequential Circuits Prophet-5 synthesizer. Terri Nunn said the song, which was a breakthrough hit for Berlin, "defined us and defined that period of music."
The Metro reached #58 on Billboard and #50 on Cash Box on July 16, 1983.
