About this song
Bass player Rick Finch, who had quit the band a few years earlier, returned to help with songwriting on a few songs, including this one. After the backlash against disco artists on the charts at the start of the 1980s, the group's record company chose not to release the song in the US, so Finch released it himself. The song reached No. 1 in the UK for three weeks in August 1983, and peaked at No. 18 on the Billboard Hot 100 in March 1984. It was the act's last hit in the US and UK, and its most successful UK hit of the ten it had there.
