Frame wrote it and Michael Jonzun produced it, with the Jonzun Crew in Boston. Frame said in 2014 that the song had been great for him but was not in keeping with the rest of Love. In 1999 he said it was going to be on the album, then off, then on again, and he called it the runt of the litter. He told a radio programme that he had thought it an odd song best suited to a B-side. At the time he was living in a wooden shack in Hollywood, Marple Bridge, in the hills above Manchester, and the lyric includes the line from Westwood to Hollywood.
The third single from Love, it came out in 1988 and reached three on the UK Singles Chart, with top-40 placings in Australia and Ireland. The video was directed by John Scarlett-Davis. The 7-inch was backed with the Boston '86 version of Everybody Is a Number One, and the 12-inch added Down the Dip and a cover of Van Halen's Jump. Cashbox wrote that Frame had "pull[ed] a rabbit out of his lens cap" with "a pop song that sounds like a hit."
