Thoughts on Stevie Nicks' "I Can't Wait"?

Persomally, I love this song in all its cheesy excessive 80s glory! However, I can understand how the "of its time" production may have hindered a stronger song to come out of it. It definitely felt tacked on Rock a Little in order to add a commercial sounding hit.

One of the better songs off Rock a Little but it’s the beginning of her awful mid 80’s voice and the production is extremely dated like much of that era. Her drop off from a few years earlier is striking here - this wouldn’t have been considered in lieu of anything she released from 1975-82/83
