Synthesizers on the track were played by Steve Winwood,[1] while the guitars were played by Todd Sharp (the song's co-writer) and McVie's Fleetwood Mac bandmate Lindsey Buckingham.[2] Sharp recalled that he wrote the song with McVie section by section over the course of thirty minutes and had identified the song's commercial viability upon hearing the first verse.[3] McVie stated that the song's subject matter was fictional, saying that "at the time I wrote it, no one did have a hold on me."[4]
The video for the song was produced by Jon Roseman and directed by Mike Brady.[5] Shot in both black-and-white and color, it is a pseudo-performance video showing Christine McVie in a mansion-like room singing at her piano while a backup band appears in silhouette shadows on the walls around her.[6]
