"Desperado" was a song on the band's second LP. The ambitious concept project featured an Old West theme, and its tracks were primarily written by Glenn Frey and Don Henley.
In a 2015 conversation with Howard Stern, Eagles drummer Don Henley revealed that although "Desperado" has become one of the band’s most iconic songs, he felt he could have delivered a stronger vocal performance.
Henley revealed, "I could have done better [vocally] because I didn't get a chance to sing it more than three or four times. We had an English superstar producer, Glyn Johns, who was trying to make an album in an economical fashion."

The takes were done live with the band and the orchestra in the studio simultaneously. Henley said that the recording session reflected the collaboration, showing "Desperado's humanity."
"It gives it a certain immediacy. It gives it a certain humanity. It's flawed, like humans are," Henley concluded.
In an interview with Cameron Crowe, Henley said "Desperado" marked the beginning of what would become a legendry songwriting partnership with Frey.
He concluded, "Glenn leapt right on it — filled in the blanks and brought structure. And that was the beginning of our songwriting partnership; that’s when we became a team."
