In 1981, Carnes recorded the Jackie DeShannon and Donna Weiss song 'Bette Davis Eyes'. As the first single released from the album Mistaken Identity,Carnes originally rejected 'Bette Davis Eyes,' on which Weiss (who composed the music) and DeShannon (who wrote the lyrics) had collaborated in 1974. Only after a new instrumental arrangement was done by Bill Cuomo did Carnes agree to record the song, which became a huge hit.
Bette Davis admitted to being a fan of the song and approached Carnes and the songwriters to thank them. Davis wrote to Carnes after the song was released and stated that she was very pleased with the song as it made her seem very up-to-date with her grandson. She had Carnes sing the song live for her at a tribute held just before her death.
