It was produced by Martin Terefe and recorded at Terefe's Kensaltown Studios in London. Along with the group's usual hard rock sound, the song uses elements of pop and country music genres.

He became interested in using computers for his astrological work in the mid-1970s and founded a software company, Matrix, in 1977.
