[edit] Background and Trivia
The song was written by David Paich and Joseph Williams. Paich had first written the chorus, music and words, including the name, "Pamela". Williams happened to have a girlfriend at the time named "Pamela", and had already written a song for her under the same name. The chorus of Williams's song was used in the bridge, and Williams wrote new words and melody for the verses as well.[2]
[edit] Music video
A music video was made for this song, showing all five Toto members acting as if they were playing horns.
