I sort of wish the other song What Has Rock N Roll Ever Done For You made Tango instead of Welcome. I think Stevie wanted something fresh and she had just ran away from Betty Ford and rejoined the band. I think she wanted to make a statement about her retaliation against Frontline and everyone else.
She had some great material in her wings but contributed 2 weak self penned songs. This is what you get when you don't spend much time in the studio with your band. In some strange way, Tango is almost like a second edition of Rock A Little. She relied on someone else's song to give her a hit.
I always got a kick out of the line "This is a dream, right?" Its not a line that is sung and she speaks it. Its always been funny to me. It just doesn't work but I get the symbolism of the song.
