"Planet Rock" foi produzida por Arthur Baker após ele e Afrika Bambaataa decidirem homenagear a banda alemã Kraftwerk, incorporando também influências da Yellow Magic Orchestra, Gary Numan e George Clinton.
A gravação da faixa ocorreu no Intergalactic Studios, em Nova Iorque, com a colaboração do músico John Robie, que reproduziu os sons eletrônicos enquanto os rappers da Soul Sonic Force improvisavam sobre a batida do Roland TR‑808.
O letrista Emcee G.L.O.B.E. criou um estilo chamado "mc popping", que consistia em raps fora do tempo, algo incomum para a época e que contribuiu para o surgimento do subgênero electro.
O single recebeu certificação de disco de ouro nos Estados Unidos, tornando‑se o primeiro ouro tanto para o grupo quanto para a gravadora Tommy Boy Records.
Apesar de usar trechos de Kraftwerk sem autorização, a banda acabou recebendo um acordo de um dólar por cópia vendida, o que levou a Tommy Boy a aumentar o preço do disco para compensar a taxa.
"Planet Rock" foi descrita por Robert Palmer, do The New York Times, como “possivelmente o registro pop negro mais influente de 1982”, influenciando artistas de diferentes gêneros, de Run‑DMC a Fatboy Slim, e foi eleita a terceira melhor música de hip‑hop pela Rolling Stone.
