Climax Blues Band bass player Derek Holt wrote the romantic hit as a tribute to his first wife. However, the carefree love song would cause internal conflicts that the band couldn't overcome.
Holt continued, "Producer John Ryan helped the band do some pre-production on our album, Flying The Flag. So he came to England and spent probably two weeks with us, going through all the tracks. And he said, 'Does anybody have any more songs?' I'd already played the song to the band, and they didn't really like it; it was a little bit too lovey."
Holt continued, "I plugged in my cassette, played it, and Ryan said, 'That's a hit.' Just like that. Everybody just looked at each other and said, 'Oh, bloody hell.' The song was recorded with just me and the drummer because the other two guys weren't really into the song."
