"Gonna Get Close to You" comes from whomanfoursays, the 1984 Capitol album on which the Canadian singer and songwriter traded her full name, Lisa Dal Bello, for plain Dalbello, and left the soul and R&B image of her earlier records behind with it. She wrote the song alone, words and music, and produced it with Mick Ronson. She plays drums, keyboards and bass on it; Ronson adds guitar along with keyboards and bass of his own. The two of them mixed it with engineer Lenny DeRose, and Mick Walsh pitched in as additional engineer.
The album was her fourth and her first concept record, a swerve toward something stranger and more her own, right down to a title that puns on "human forces" and a cover with her face painted in the style of New Guinea's indigenous peoples.
