The album was recorded in 1981 and scheduled to be released on October 5 of that year[citation needed] but was shelved.

[3] After making her name as the biggest selling and most important female artist of the disco era in the 1970s, Summer had signed to Geffen Records in 1980 and released the new wave-influenced album The Wanderer.

[5] This effectively ended Summer's working relationship with the Moroder/Bellotte team, with whom she had created ten critically acclaimed albums.

It included a duet with Joe "Bean" Esposito, writing credits from Harold Faltermeyer, Keith Forsey, Sylvester Levay, and Sudano as well as the usual Summer/Moroder/Bellotte team.

In fact, given the quality of the music, it's hard to see why this was shelved at the time because it is stronger than the majority of her official studio albums.

The album opens with the title track, which includes a significantly different intro and the addition of a church organ, and closes with Leave Me Alone.
