James wrote this about his girlfriend Linda Blair, an actress who starred in the movie The Exorcist. James played all the instruments on the record.
Rick James was a prolific producer for Motown Records, and as a solo artist he scored on both the Pop and R&B charts. Explaining how he would look for a commercial sound, he told Musician magazine in 1983: "I think I'm a musician who writes for people as opposed to being self-indulgent. I have to like it, but it's basically for people. I concentrate on that, giving them what I think they can dance to and what I think they would appreciate in their ears."
This song was redone by the rapper Ol' Dirty Bastard on his album Ni--a Please released in 1999.
