Released in March 1978, the song became a summer smash powered by its breezy, sun-drenched, Southern California sound, ’50s-style stroll rhythm, and romantic love-letter lyrics. In a chat with Songfacts, Egan said that the song took shape almost instantly when he came to realize he had a massive crush on Nicks.

“Magnet and Steel” marked Egan’s only Top 40 chart entry. And even though he also wrote Night's first hit, "Hot Summer Nights," which reached No. 18, “Magnet” has been called one of the greatest one-hit wonders in music history. Whether it deserves the OHW title is up to listeners. By the time the album hit shelves that May, the song had already become the soundtrack of summer.
“‘Magnet and Steel’ became one of those songs that you heard every time you turned on the radio in the Summer of 1978,” Classic Rock History writes. “Most people never got tired of it. Hearing Stevie Nicks sing her beautiful enchanted backup vocals on the song only made listening to the recording more addicting. For those who grew up hearing that song in 1978, it only takes one listen to bring you back to the sweet feelings of summer and the days of our youth.”
