Criss sang the song to Bob Ezrin, who decided to include it in "Destroyer" because Kiss' other songs were primarily about sex, and "Beck" was a love song that "everyone would relate to". Ezrin made several arrangements of the song's melody and wrote part of the lyrics. Gene Simmons suggested changing the name to "Beth" because it would be easier to sing and to avoid confusion with Jeff Beck. However, Lydia Criss later claimed credit for proposing the change for the same reason, and because the original Becky had a twin sister named Beth.
