Jay and Palombi wrote "Mind over Matter" in 1985. It was originally recorded by Nikki Leeger and released in 1986 as a UK-only single by RCA.The following year saw Debbie Harry record the song, which was slated for release as a single from the soundtrack of the upcoming film Summer School. However, label disputes caused her version to go unreleased. Although they were willing to allow the song to be included on the film's soundtrack, Chrysalis refused to allow Harry's version to be released as a single. The label decided to have the song re-recorded and came to an agreement with A&M Records over the hiring of Daily, who flew to London to provide vocals on the track.

The single was released in the UK in 1988 peaking at #96.
