by the mid-1980s, eddie money had reached a low-point in his recording career after several years of drug abuse. columbia records still wanted to keep money on its roster, but restricted his creative control regarding his output. record producer richie zito brought money the song "take me home tonight", and money would recall: "i didn't care for the demo [but] it did have a good catch line. when i heard [a snippet of] 'be my baby' in it i said: 'why can't we get ronnie spector to sing it?' [and was told] 'that's impossible.'" money invited his friend martha davis, lead vocalist of the motels, to sing the lines from "be my baby" on "take me home tonight": davis encouraged him to try to recruit spector herself and money was eventually able to speak on the phone to spector at her home in northern california: money - "i could hear clinking and clanking in the backgroundshe said: 'i'm doing the dishes, and i gotta change the kids' bedding. i’m not really in the business anymore, eddie. phil spector and all that, it was a nightmare'i said 'ronnie, i got this song that’s truly amazing and it’s a tribute to you. it would be so great if you…did it with me.'" the success of "take me home tonight" encouraged spector to resume her singing career, who would release her second solo album "unfinished business" in 1987. in 1987 money would say of "take me home tonight": "i didn't like the song, but…it helped ronnie out and it helped me get some of my other material on the album across, so now i'm happy i did it."
