"Game Above My Head" sits on Mange Tout, the second album from English synth-pop duo Blancmange, which London Records released in May 1984. Neil Arthur and Stephen Luscombe wrote it, and Blancmange produced it together with John Williams.
Mange Tout was the duo's big moment, the best seller among their studio albums: it reached number eight in Britain, went gold early the next year and threw off four top-40 singles, two of them top-10 hits, before signing off with a cover of ABBA's "The Day Before You Came".
