Mick Jagger wrote "Throw Away" by himself, words and music, and it appears on Primitive Cool, his second solo album, which came out in 1987 as the follow-up to 1985's She's the Boss and another run at solo stardom. The record grew out of a sour patch with the Rolling Stones: after Dirty Work in 1986, Jagger picked a solo project over touring with the band, Keith Richards aired his displeasure in the press, and Jagger answered back in public.
He cut the album in the Netherlands and Barbados, sharing the producer's chair with David A. Stewart and Keith Diamond and leaning on Jeff Beck as his regular guitarist for the sessions to keep the sound all of a piece. Commercially, it never matched the welcome She's the Boss had gotten.
