It served as the opening track for Dennis Wilson's 1977 debut solo album Pacific Ocean Blue.

The song is Wilson's debut solo single after his 1970 collaboration with Daryl Dragon, "Sound of Free".

The track, as with the rest of the album, was credited as being produced by Dennis Wilson and his close friend Gregg Jakobson.

The opening piano part of the song had origins seven years earlier during recording sessions held in 1970.

[citation needed] The band then used Dennis Wilson's solo version for their 1981 two-disc greatest hits collection, Ten Years of Harmony.
