The song was originally planned to be played by The Who at Live Aid. However the band committed last minute and was unable to rehearse the song, so it was given to Daltrey to record for Under a Raging Moon.

The recording was produced by Alan Shacklock and recorded at RAK Recording Studios and Odyssey Studios, London. The album Under a Raging Moon was released on the Atlantic label (81269-1) in the U.S. in 1985,[1] and singles were also released in other countries in the same year.
