Tasmin Archer released her poignant single “In Your Care” on 8 February 1993 in the United Kingdom under EMI Records. The track, the second single from her debut album Great Expectations (1992), reached a peak position of number 16 on the UK Singles Chart. Though it didn’t climb as high as her debut hit “Sleeping Satellite,” it strongly connected with listeners for its emotional depth and important subject matter.

The single was also released in the United States, where it found moderate success, peaking at number 32 on the Billboard Hot 100. This US chart performance cemented Archer’s impact beyond the UK and showcased the global resonance of her music.

“In Your Care” is notable for its powerful lyrics addressing the difficult topic of child abuse. Tasmin Archer co-wrote the song with John Beck and John Hughes, and generously donated the royalties from the single to the UK charity Childline. The combination of thoughtful songwriting and Archer’s heartfelt vocal delivery makes it a truly special track that resonates on a deeper emotional level.

This song is particularly meaningful to me because of its sincere, raw portrayal of pain and vulnerability—qualities that elevate it beyond just a pop single. It feels intimate and profound, reminding us of music’s ability to convey real human struggles.
