This song was one of three done with Arthur Baker in the 1980s, Good Man in a Bad Time, this song for The Wraith film, and a demo Professional Lover for Tina Turner which Hunter thought was well done but most likely not pursued for release. Ian enjoyed the sound of his work with Baker and the task was easier than an entire album. The artist can place all their energy into one song for a film and the work is done in two days. The song is one of the most pumped up that Hunter ever wrote, ideal for a morning to get the blood pumping, and could fit well for an exercise tape.
