"Mystery" comes from The Last in Line, the second album from American heavy metal band Dio, released in 1984, and Ronnie James Dio runs the whole show on it: he wrote the words, wrote the music with bassist Jimmy Bain, sings lead, plays keyboards and produced it. Angelo Arcuri engineered, with Rich Markowitz assisting.
Vivian Campbell plays electric guitar and Vinny Appice drums, and Dio shares the keyboards with Claude Schnell, whose place in the band was new: The Last in Line was the first Dio album with him as a full member. It was also the record that took the band higher on the charts than ever before, in Britain and America alike, and the first of their albums to go platinum.
