The song was produced by Ken Mansfield and Waylon Jennings (a country music artist and Colter's husband), who also produced her two previous singles and the album that song was released on in 1976, Jessi. Both men would produce Colter's further Capitol releases during the decade.[1] The song would also be issued on Colter's 2003 compilation, The Very Best of Jessi Colter: An Outlaw...a Lady.
