A breakthrough song for Crenshaw, "Someday, Someway" originated as a take on Gene Vincent's "Lotta Lovin'".

Calling it a "breakthrough moment," he later said the song was the result of a "particular sound and style had been forming in my mind during this period.

"[7] "Someday, Someway" was recorded along with other songs for his debut album by Crenshaw with producer Richard Gottehrer at the Power Station in New York.

[8] Gotterher, a former songwriter whose hits included "I Want Candy" and "My Boyfriend's Back", had produced albums by Blondie and the Go-Go's during the 1970s and 1980s.

[8] Crenshaw had originally planned to produce his debut album alone but after sessions stalled, Warner Bros. suggested Gotterher; Crenshaw recalled, "We started making our first album and I sort of [BS'd] my way into the producer's chair but it didn't work out.

"[5][7][8] As Crenshaw explained, "I wanted to take the beat and atmosphere of a 1950s Rock and Roll record that I loved ... and build something around that.

"[10] Crenshaw wrote the lyrics to the song after finishing the music, explaining, "they were nice and spare but had some depth, lots of possible meanings and implications, etc.

"[5] In an interview with PBS, Crenshaw explained that the song had subconsciously been written about the early stages of marriage.

He explained in an interview, "WNEW was on one hand what you would call a mainstream FM rock station, but there also was some flexibility.

People like Vin [Scelsa] and Meg Griffin were really talented and determined to express themselves as well as play the hits.

Crenshaw later explained, "Warner Brothers sent a film crew, three cameras, and they sent a sound truck with a multi-track recording set up and they documented the show.

Back in the day, that concert was shown on MTV a couple of times and the video for 'Someday, Someway' from taken from that show as well.
