This was written by the keyboard player Eddie Gip Noble along with Cecil Womack, who was a member of The Valentinos. The song is about how love can beat you down. Says Noble: "I had just left a relationship when I wrote it so I could relate to the idea of a 'technical knock-out.'"
Other artists to record this song include Hall & Oates, Bette Midler, Regina Belle, The Nylons, Boz Scaggs and Clive Griffin.
Blondie's Debbie Harry did a very seductive version of this song on the Valentine's Day episode of Saturday Night Live in 1981.
