Originally recording for her husband's independent record label, Cristy Lane had several hit singles before switching to United Artists Records in 1979. She would have further success as a country music artist with the label.[2] Lane recorded her next single release in October 1978 at LSI Studios, located in Nashville, Tennessee.
