The song was written by band members Andrew Gold and Graham Gouldman, and produced by Christopher Neil.

The song's music video was directed by Storm Thorgerson.

Upon its release as a single, Mike Dillon of The Paisley Daily Express commented, "[As] the follow-up to 'Bridge to Your Heart', this single should not have much trouble making it two in a row for Messrs Gold and Gouldman.

With its big production and very excellent chorus, you'll be hooked on it in no time.

"[1] Ben Thompson of NME was less enthusiastic, writing, "Wax's clash of the two mighty and unpredictable talents of Gouldman and Gold does not produce quite the fireworks that could have been expected.
