Released on January 20, 1992, “Don’t Be Aggressive” was the lead single from Sandra’s sixth studio album, Close to Seven. This track marks a shift towards a more mature and introspective sound, reflecting Sandra’s growth as an artist during the early 1990s.

General Information:

Produced by Michael Cretu, the song combines a strong, assertive message with Sandra’s characteristic synth-pop sound. The lyrics encourage self-empowerment and standing up against aggression, making it one of Sandra’s more thematically bold tracks. The production is polished and sophisticated, with a mix of electronic and acoustic elements that enhance the song’s impact.

The 12-inch version includes “The Midnight Hour Mix,” a longer, more atmospheric take on the song, which was well-suited for club play.

“Don’t Be Aggressive” was a commercial success, particularly in Europe, where it charted well and received considerable airplay. The song’s strong message and Sandra’s powerful vocal performance have made it a standout in her discography.

This single remains a significant part of Sandra’s musical legacy, representing her ability to blend pop sensibilities with meaningful lyrics.
