So I looked up the song on wiki. I wanted to see when it came out and read about it.
Interesting. The band had an album called gold-plated and their manager asked them to write a radio-friendly song for it. Interesting how they pulled that out.
Apparently they did seven previous albums and they were famous but not really on the radio or in the charts I guess.
So after they came up with this song their producer was pissed because he thought they were withholding hits from him. Lol!

song was recorded for their eighth studio album, Gold Plated, which was named after Pete Haycock's Veleno guitar and produced by Mike Vernon. The song was specifically written and produced after the manager of the band, Miles Copeland III, demanded that the band append a radio-friendly song to the track listing. The band at the time had released eight albums and although that had translated into fame, they did not have a great impact on the charts.[6] Copeland suggested a cover version of an Elvis Presley song; this suggestion was ignored, and instead the band came up with an original composition[7] "from absolutely nowhere". It was simply a case of sitting in the studio, conjuring up a rhythm, appending the traditional dual vocals for which Climax Blues Band were known, and coming up with a couple of hooks. The sudden emergence of the song irritated the producer, as he thought the band had been withholding a hit from him.[4]
