Recording

The song was recorded at the sessions for the group's album Trafalgar, although unlike How Can You Mend a Broken Heart, it did not make the final cut, instead being relegated to the flip-side of the single. It was recorded on April 6 in IBC on the same day that they finished the songs "God's Good Grace" (unreleased) and "The Greatest Man in the World" (released on the album Trafalgar). Two acoustic guitars played by Maurice and Alan Kendall open the song. Like many of Maurice Gibb's songs written for the group, Barry and Robin Gibb did not contribute to the recording, and Maurice played bass, piano and rhythm guitar as well as handling all the vocals.[3]
