The song makes references to "Dr Noah Drake" as well as to "Jessie's Girl". In a 2014 interview, Springfield said that although he had heard the title and was aware of the song's existence and had met with Jimmy Hart in person, he had never actually heard the song.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://interviewly.com/i/rick-springfield-jun-2014-reddit |title=Interviewly - Rick Springfield June 2014 - reddit AMA |access-date=2016-07-21 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160809031822/http://interviewly.com/i/rick-springfield-jun-2014-reddit |archive-date=9 August 2016 }}</ref>
