The song was written by Peter Ldemann, Alf Schwegeler and Amanda Lear, and was produced by Ldemann. It is a Hi-NRG synthpop track and its lyrics reference the aerobics craze of the early 1980s, hence the caption "It's aerobic time" on the 12" single cover. It was Amanda's last single recorded in Munich and released by German division of Ariola Records. The B-side of the single was "Darkness and Light", stylistically similar to "Love Your Body, written by Ldemann and Lear.

In the 2017 book 'Europe's Stars of '80s Dance Pop', the song is mentioned as one of Lear's "noteworthy tracks" from the 80s.
