A canção foi lançada em 1985, dois anos após a versão original de Cherrelle, que saiu em 1984.
A autoria da música ficou a cargo da dupla de compositores James “Jimmy Jam” Harris III e Terry Lewis, famosos por sua produção no R&B dos anos 80.
Embora seja mais conhecida pela gravação de Robert Palmer, a canção foi inicialmente gravada por Cherrelle, que a apresentou ao público no ano anterior.
A versão de Robert Palmer manteve a estrutura melódica da original, mas incorporou seu estilo pop-rock característico, marcando uma das raras adaptações de um sucesso R&B para o repertório de um artista britânico.
