Branigan's performance of "The Lucky One" won the Grand Prix award at the Tokyo Music Festival held April 1, 1984; the prize was three million yen ($13,400).[1][2]

The music video for "The Lucky One" was directed by Michael Heldman and filmed in Montecito, California.[3] The video depicts Branigan as a gas station attendant who dreams she is brought to a lavish country manor, where she receives instruction in how to display a polished deportment.
