Conti heard Easton's debut album Take My Time and felt unimpressed but decided to work with her in the song after meeting Easton in person. Film studio United Artists suggested Sheena Easton, an up-and-coming singer who had recently scored a No.1 hit in America with " Morning Train". It was nominated for Best Original Song at the Academy Awards in 1982.Ĭonti – who was also responsible for the film's score – had originally written the song thinking about Donna Summer or Dusty Springfield, singers he thought "fit the Bond style".
