A re-issued 45 of "Je t'aime... moi non plus" by Jane Birkin and Serge Gainsbourg was back on the charts, prompting Summer to pen her own 'racy' song.

She stated on a VH1's Behind the Music program that she pictured herself as Marilyn Monroe acting out the part of someone in sexual ecstasy.

With the sound aesthetic and thudding four-on-the-floor kick-drum motif, Moroder and Bellotte established the template for Eurodisco.

[9] The album (side one of which was completely taken up with the full-length version of the title track) was also released in late 1975 and was soon certified gold for sales of over 500,000 copies in the US.

The song was branded "graphic" by some music critics and was even banned by some radio stations for its explicit content.

Two of the songs, "Full of Emptiness" (which was taken from her previous album Lady of the Night) and "Whispering Waves" were ballads, while "Need-a-Man Blues" was in a slightly more pop/disco vein, and "Pandora's Box" was more mid-tempo.

In the Netherlands the album was released with the single "Virgin Mary" replacing the first version of "Full of Emptiness".
