O título da música surgiu durante sessões de composição com Tim Finn, onde umirmã propunha um título e o outro escrevia a canção ao redor da sugestão.
Na época da gravação, Neil Finn afirmou que o famoso riff de guitarra inicial era a única figurinha que ele sabia tocar, revelando que estava aprendendo a tocar guitarra elétrica no momento.
A despeito de Neil Finn e o executivo Michael Gudinski duvidarem do potencial do single, a faixa se tornou o disco mais vendido da história da Austrália até julho de 1980.
A música liderou as paradas na Australásia por oito semanas consecutivas na Austrália, consolidando-se como a canção comercialmente mais bem-sucedida da banda.
Durante os ensaios, a banda percebeu que a música funcionou muito bem, embora Neil Finn inicialmente considerasse o refrain fraco durante a fase de escrita em Rose Bay, Sydney.
