“Point of No Return” is a single by American pop group Exposé. Written and produced by Lewis Martineé, the single was originally released in 1984 on the Pantera label with Alejandra Lorenzo (Alé) as the lead singer under the group name X-Posed. In 1985 the single was released on Arista Records under the name Exposé. The original vocal mix of the song, featuring Lorenzo, reached the top of the U.S. Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart on April 20, 1985, spending twelve weeks on the survey.

There was no music video released for the 1985 version of the song a video was later released in 1987 after the group’s lineup had changed and the song was re-recorded with different lead vocals.

Neither of these tracks appeared on the 2015 Cherry Pop remastered CD Edition of the album “Exposure”.
