O título original da canção era "A Question of Balance", mas foi encurtado para apenas "Question".
A letra do refrão, que pergunta por que não recebemos respostas ao bater à porta com questões sobre ódio, morte e guerra, espelhava os sentimentos em relação à Guerra do Vietnã.
A faixa foi gravada em uma única tomada, sem overdubs ou gravações em duplo rastro, intencionalmente para facilitar a execução ao vivo, ao contrário dos álbuns anteriores da banda.
A música foi composta na afinação em Ré aberto (CGCGCE) e gravada, bem como geralmente tocada nos shows, em um violão acústico de 12 cordas.
O lado B do single da canção continha a faixa "Candle of Life", que havia aparecido no álbum anterior do Moody Blues, "To Our Children's Children's Children".
O álbum precedente dos Moody Blues, "To Our Children's Children's Children", possuia uma produção complexa com muitos overdubs que tornava a maioria das músicas muito difíceis de serem reproduzidas em concerto.
