Far Out magazine reported that the track was penned by the band's vocalist and songwriter Jeff Lynne.

Jeff Lynne Shared When He Knew ELO Had Become Successful
In a 2012 interview with Classic Rock, Lynne referenced that the release of "Can’t Get It Out Of My Head" and Eldorado marked the beginning of an era of mass popularity for ELO. While speaking to the publication, he said he believed ELO improved as a band "bout six months after" original member Roy Wood's 1972 departure. He explained that he and Wood weren't the best collaborators.
He also said he knew that ELO took off after he and his bandmates began playing American venues with "20,000-seaters."
"We were driving in a limo up La Cienega towards Sunset Boulevard, and there was this great big billboard that said ‘Welcome ELO,'" recalled Lynne. "I thought: “F--k, this is good.” The record label had put us to stay in the Continental Hyatt House, which used to be called the Riot House after John Bonham or someone rode a motorbike around the top floor. And there was another sign saying ‘Welcome ELO’ outside. That’s when I felt like we’d made it. But after that it just got bigger and bigger."
