Background

Williams' manager and music producer, Alan Galbraith had chosen a rock-pop number written by Australian songwriting duo Harry Vanda and George Young (aka Vanda & Young). Williams originally wasn't keen on the track, but backed down and recorded the song with an alternate rearrangement with a rhythm and blues-soul sound. Galbraith said, "The original demo was nothing like the end result."[1]
