"Aphrodisiac" comes from When the Going Gets Tough, the Tough Get Going, Bow Wow Wow's second studio album, which RCA issued in 1983, and it was the last record the English new wave band made with all four original members. The song's writing credit is split between Annabella Lwin, Matthew Ashman, Leigh Gorman and Dave Barbarossa, and Mike Chapman produced it, as he did the whole album.
David Bailey shot the cover, and the album credits sent "a kiss" to the recently departed James Honeyman-Scott and John Belushi.
