Background


The song is based on an instrumental synthesizer track called “The Last American,” written by singer-songwriter Sandy Stewart. Dallas studio owner and producer Gordon Perry sent the track to Nicks. “The next thing I know, I’m on the phone and Gordon’s saying, ‘You can’t have it back. They want to use it on Stevie’s next album,” Stewart told Record Magazine in 1984.[1]

Cash Box said that it "manages to be familiar and sure-footed without being predictable."[2]
