Bloom wrote this about the city in Jamaica. Bloom said of the city when introducing the song: "It has a certain peacefulness that really sticks in your mind. It's the kind of a place that makes you write songs about it."
Jeff Barry wrote this with Bloom and produced the track. Barry, whose songwriting hits include "Be My Baby" and "Leader of the Pack," worked with Bloom on various projects, including a Monkees album.
Bloom did a lot of session work in the '60s while working on his solo material. This was his only hit, as he died on February 28, 1974, at age 28 after he was accidentally shot.
