Background and recording


Hagen worked with Ron Dumas, who had previously recorded the song in 1983 with his band Ron Dumas Group.[3] She later described the song as not being musically very interesting and that she originally wanted to do her vocals differently, but was directed by the recording company to make the record more "commercial".
