Love Explosion was recorded mainly in London (the brass recorded in New York) and was produced by one of the leading characters in French disco at the time, Alec R. Costandinos,[6] who had written hits for Demis Roussos and worked with bands like Love and Kisses and Cerrone and also appeared on the soundtrack to the 1978 movie Thank God It's Friday.

The track listing includes two soul ballads, "I See Home" and "Just a Little Lovin'", the former originally recorded by Patti LaBelle on her 1978 album Tasty and the latter originally recorded by Dusty Springfield on her 1969 album Dusty in Memphis.

[7] A mid-tempo cover of The O'Jays' 1972 soul classic "Back Stabbers" was released as a promotional single in the UK.

[8] Because the singles and the album failed to chart, United Artists Records and Turner parted ways.

After the success of Turner's Private Dancer album, Ariola re-released Love Explosion in September 1984.
