The only song by Sly Fox that achieved any popularity, this is often construed to be about consummating a sexual relationship. However its writer Sly Fox vocalist Gary "Mudbone" Cooper says this is not the case. He explained the song's meaning is, "Whatever your goal, dream or vision, you should go all the way to get it."
Sly Fox was the brainchild of a British producer named Ted Currier. He teamed up the black musician Gary Cooper (dubbed "Sly") with the white singer Michael Camacho ("Fox"), creating an intentionally diverse duo established for both musical and marketing purposes. Cooper was an established session pro in the funk landscape, having drummed for Sly Stone, George Clinton and Bootsy Collins. Camacho had been performing in jazz/acapella groups. The duo was purely a studio production, and lasted just one album. In interviews to promote this song, they played up their diversity and held to a relentlessly positive message.
Musically, this song merged funk stylings with dance music. It's writer Gary Cooper was trying to re-create factory sounds - compressors and presses - to generate the rhythm.
