Amos, then 16 years old, wrote the song with her brother Michael in response to a 1979 contest by the city of Baltimore, Maryland. Her new theme song for the Baltimore Orioles baseball team won the contest.

Pressed on only 500 7-inch vinyl records, it was given a citation by the Mayor of Baltimore. As of the year 2002, a copy of this record complete with original sleeve sells for $2,000–$5,000 US . The sleeve is not a picture sleeve. A copy with an original resume for "Ellen Amos" could go for as much as $7,000 . It features a B-side track called "Walking With You". It was released on "MEA Records", which was Amos' initials.

Max Welker played guitar on both songs (Yamaha SA-2000). It was recorded at Track Studios, Silver Spring, Maryland, United States.
