It was written by Commodores member William King, his wife, Shirley, and Harold Hudson, a member of the Commodores' backing group, The Mean Machine. Lionel Richie sang lead vocals, and it was one of the group's last big hits before he left for a solo career.
Record World noted that Ritchie's vocal is backed by "shimmering strings and a driving rhythm."
The music video features the band members playing a six-a-side soccer match with a group of women players.
