Tucked into Be Yourself Tonight, the fourth Eurythmics album, which RCA put out on 29 April 1985, "I Love You Like A Ball And Chain" comes from the duo's own pens, Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart. That record swerved hard away from the sound and the look of what came before, and it turned into the British pair's biggest commercial success.
Stewart produced the track and plays guitar, keyboards and electronics, while Lennox sings lead and adds keyboards of her own, with the Charles Williams Singers behind her on backing vocals. Adam Williams engineered, with Jay Willis assisting, and Williams mixed it alongside Stewart and Don Smith.
