"You Owe Me Some Kind of Love" comes from Chris Isaak's self-titled second album, and he wrote every word and note of it himself. That record was a regroup after his debut had sold poorly: Isaak tightened his style into sophisticated R&B, and for the first time his whole backing band was on an album with him, James Calvin Wilsey on guitar, Rowland Salley on bass and Kenny Dale Johnson on drums.
The song found a second home on television, turning up alongside "Blue Hotel", "Lie to Me" and "Wild Love" in episodes 6 and 7 of Private Eye, the 1987 series starring Josh Brolin.
