Tiffany is eager to deliver some Christmas cheer.
The singer/songwriter, who rose to fame in the ‘80s with hits like “I Think We’re Alone Now” and “Could’ve Been,” has recorded the theme song for Lifetime’s new holiday film, “Ladies of the ‘80s: A Divas Christmas.” It follows five glamorous leading ladies as they “reunite to share the spotlight to shoot the final Christmas episode of their long-running soap opera.”
The film stars Loni Anderson, Morgan Fairchild, Linda Gray, Donna Mills and Nicollette Sheridan, who all ruled the screen during the decadent decade.

Tiffany admitted she struggled with being labeled a “one-hit wonder.”
“There were a lot of obstacles, definitely,” said Tiffany. “You have this rise to fame. And then, all of a sudden, you’re labeled a one-hit wonder, and now you’re not needed anymore. It was hard. It’s taken a lot of belief in myself to keep pushing. It’s taken a lot of great people around me pushing me and believing in me… It sounds silly, but even six, seven years ago, people were like, ‘You can really sing.’ I was like, ‘I thought I showed this on my songs.’ Being on the road has given me the avenue to show that I am a performer… People don’t know what to expect when they come to my shows.”

“I was hoping to reach here maybe a little sooner, but you just keep going,” she continued. “And this is the only thing that I’ve ever wanted to do. There’s never been a plan B. I’m a lifer as a musician. So it’s been frustrating at times to [prove critics wrong]. But I think now I’ve turned a corner. I’m very proud.”
Tiffany noted that she never gets tired of singing “I Think We’re Alone Now,” a cover of the 1967 hit song by Tommy James and the Shondells.
“That song still gives people joy,” she said about her 1987 chart-topper. “People still jam out to it, and it gives people memories of good times. I’m very grateful to have that song in my life.”

While Tiffany finds refuge on her ranch, she has been keeping busy with music. In late 2022 she released her 11th studio album, “Shadows.” A new vinyl is coming out for Christmas, she revealed. Acting is also “on the table.”

“The advice I would give my younger self is to be true to yourself,” she said. “Sometimes people aren’t going to be happy with you when you say no, especially when you don’t know it all, but you have to live your life. You really have to want to do this. As long as you stay in that realm, then hopefully you will have a very long career. There will be highs, there will be lows. And like a lot of artists, you will get bummed out when you release something, and it’s not exactly no. 1, or it didn’t sell millions of copies like the first one… But is it good work? Are you proud of it? Is it something the fans like?”
“Every day was an adventure,” she reflected. “It still is. But now I’m ready for new adventures.”
"Ladies of the ’80s: A Divas Christmas" premieres Dec. 2 at 8 p.m.
