“Tell Her About It“ is a vibrant, upbeat pop-rock track released by Billy Joel in 1983 as the lead single from his hit album An Innocent Man. The song is a brilliant, affectionate homage to the Motown and Doo-Wop sounds of the 1960s, complete with a bright, punchy horn section, driving basslines, and finger-snapping rhythms. Joel uses vintage soul arrangements to craft a modern, radio-friendly pop hit that bursts with infectious, retro-flavored energy.

Lyrically, Joel steps into the role of an experienced mentor, offering relationship advice to a younger man about how to sustain a healthy romance. He passionately argues that the key to keeping love alive is open communication, urging the listener to explicitly tell their partner how much they care before it is too late. The combination of the track’s bouncy, danceable tempo and its practical, heartfelt message made it a massive chart-topping success on both sides of the Atlantic.
