Background and content
Charley Pride left his long time label (RCA Records) after 20 years due to frustrations with marketing and promotion of younger artists. In 1987, he signed with 16th Avenue Records and had a series of hits, including the top five, "Shouldn't It Be Easier Than This." Following this he recorded the album, 'Moody Woman' for the label, which spawned the single "Amy's Eyes." The song was recorded in September 1988. The session was produced by Jerry Bradley, whom Pride had been working with for several years up to that point. Pride also co-produced the song.
