"Standing in the Doorway" comes from A Flock of Seagulls' self-titled debut, the album Jive Records put out in April 1982 that also carried "I Ran (So Far Away)" and "Space Age Love Song". The English new wave band split the writing four ways: Mike Score, who sings lead and plays keyboards and guitar, Paul Reynolds on guitar, Frank Maudsley on bass and backing vocals, and Ali Score on drums.
Mike Howlett produced it and Mike Shipley engineered, and on paper it's a true group effort: every player on the track holds a share of the song, and Maudsley sings backup behind Score's lead.
