This Wings composition, created by Paul and Linda McCartney, initially appeared on the 1976 album Wings at the Speed of Sound before being issued as a single in April of that year, with separate release dates for the American and British markets. The disco-influenced track was reportedly crafted as a reaction to critical commentary from music reviewers who had frequently characterized McCartney's songwriting output as overly sentimental and focused on romantic themes.
