A fourth writing credit went to Minnelli's ex-husband, Australian songwriter Peter Allen,[2] a frequent collaborator with Bayer Sager.

The line in the chorus "When you get caught between the moon and New York City" was taken from an unreleased song written by Allen and Bayer Sager.

[3] Allen came up with the line while his plane was in a holding pattern during a night arrival at John F. Kennedy International Airport.

[4] The song "Minstrel Gigolo" served as the record's B-side, having previously backed Cross's debut single, "Ride Like the Wind".

Cross included "Arthur's Theme (Best That You Can Do)" as a bonus track exclusive to cassette and CD versions of his 1983 album Another Page.
