The lyrics to the track were written by the Who's main songwriter Pete Townshend, and the music was by Gilmour himself.[1] The lyrics for the track were written within a day, after Gilmour had asked for Townshend's help.[2] Townshend had also written the lyrics to another track from About Face, "All Lovers are Deranged".[1]

The single was only released in the UK, but sales were poor, despite the single also being available as a 7" picture disc.

Gilmour performed the tack live on his 1984 tour, and in 1985 as a member of Townshend's supergroup, Deep End,[1] a recording of which became Townshend's live album Live: Brixton Academy '85.
