"Children of Paradise" peaked at #11 in the German charts whereas it became the group's lowest placing in the UK at #66 only when released in February '81.

Boney M. would use the double A-side format in this period, typically with the A1 being the song intended for radio and A2 being more squarely aimed at discos.

A synth disco track, based on Moroccan Younes Megri's hit "Lili Twil", "Children of Paradise" went through several try-outs, and Boney M. themselves performed several different versions on various TV shows.

Backing vocals: Liz Mitchell, Marcia Barrett, Frank Farian.

Due to a fall-out between producer Frank Farian and the group, he had session singers La Mama (Cathy Bartney, Patricia Shockley and Madeleine Davis) sing the female vocals while he did the deep male vocals as usual.
