 The song is said to have been inspired by the American singer Diana Ross, whom Miller had met when they each performed on the same episode of the pop music television show "Hullabaloo" in the 1960s.The lyrics "Round and round and round it goes, where it stops nobody knows" are a reference to the spinning wheel segment from "The Original Amateur Hour".Speaking on "The Howard Stern Show" in June 2016, Miller said at first his record company Capitol Records did not see the potential hit it would become.
