Matthew Sweet wrote "Where You Get Love" on his own, words and music, for Blue Sky on Mars, his sixth album, which Zoo Entertainment put out in the spring of 1997 just as the label was being swallowed by Volcano Entertainment. He produced it with Brendan O'Brien, who also mixed the track.
The album wore its Mars fixation on the sleeve, literally: the cover is an image from Viking 1, the first craft ever to set down on Mars, with lettering by Roger Dean, famous for his Yes album art, and the title nods to a tour in the movie Total Recall. Entertainment Weekly's Jim Farber heard Sweet's sugar-rush melodies packed into denser production than before, and the record earned warm notices even though it didn't sell much.
