The British drama film starred Sidney Poitier and featured Christian Roberts, Judy Geeson, Suzy Kendall, and Patricia Routledge. Its plot dealt with social and racial issues in a secondary school in the East End of London. The film was considered a commercial success, also thanks to its title theme sung by Scottish singer Lulu. She also starred in To Sir, With Love in her acting debut.
"I hated them," she told Billboard in 1985. “I said to my friend Mark London, ‘They’re going to make me sing these rotten songs and it will be awful. Why don’t you write the songs?’”
Lulu was "over the moon" with the results and knew it would be a "great song." The track was used in the film, with her record label having released it as the B-side to a cover sung by Lulu of a Neil Diamond song. It was no surprise that Lulu was reportedly angered by it.
According to reports, Lulu's manager and the film's director were angered when "To Sir with Love" was considered in the list of nominations for Best Original Song at the 40th Academy Awards. That year, the award went to "Talk to the Animals" from Doctor Dolittle.
