The song was published by Elvis Presley Music, Inc.[1] In Australia, "Kiss Me Quick" and "Suspicion" appeared on the chart as a double A-side hit with a No.

"Suspicion" would belatedly afford Presley a Top Ten hit in the UK where its December 1976 single release rose to a peak of No.

After an unsuccessful affiliation with A&M Records, Terry Stafford cut a demo of "Suspicion" at the Los Angeles studio of Bob Summers.

Summers, best known as the producer of the 1959 Larry Hall hit "Sandy", played all the instruments on the demo which Stafford and Stafford's manager pitched to record companies in the Los Angeles area and also to local radio stations including KFWB where disc jockey Gene Weed was impressed enough with the demo to take it next door to the headquarters of the newly formed Crusader Records.
