A typically upbeat Jones composition, it was one of two songs from the album to feature all-female singing group Afrodiziak on backing vocals.

John Leland from Spin magazine wrote that "It mines the best of the Anglo soul movement: a clean slap-bass line, precise horns and synths, and some well-paced and inviting singing".

The cover of the 12" single featured a photograph of Jones, in profile, sitting on a high bar stool.

The video depicts Jones singing the song as his road crew sets up equipment for a concert, followed by a transition to the show as he performs for a lively crowd.

A martial artist styled after Daniel LaRusso, the protagonist of the 1984 film The Karate Kid, and the Tramp character made famous by Charlie Chaplin wander around backstage during the setup and later appear in the crowd.
