Many rock fans know Henley as a founding member of the Eagles, but by 1980, the band had broken up. Henley once recalled feeling the pressure of not measuring up to the band's success, but "simply to write and record without them." The musician never even considered taking on a solo career when he released his first album in 1982.
While Campbell was ready to revolutionize music using the drum machine and Oberheim Xpander synthesizer, Petty wasn't a big fan. He felt the track didn't suit the current album they were working on, Southern Accents, and rejected it. At the suggestion of Jimmy lovine, Campbell pitched the demo to Henley.
Henley also added that once figuring out the proper arrangement for the track, "the melody and the lyrics began to flow pretty quickly." The track landing in his lap was a "gift," according to Henley, and took inspiration from real-life events.
"I looked to my left and there it was: a 1979 Cadillac Seville with a ‘Deadhead’ sticker on the back. It just struck me as ironic, paradoxical, with a little touch of nostalgia, and it went right into the song."
