Roger Miller wrote "Secrets", words and music, for Vs., the debut album Mission of Burma put out on Ace of Hearts in October 1982. After the tidier Signals, Calls, and Marches EP the year before, the band set out to get the racket of their live shows onto tape, cutting the record in a big room at Normandy Sound in Rhode Island, with more of Martin Swope's electronic and tape effects threaded through the songs than ever before.
Miller rated it the band's best work. It was also their last full-length for a long time: his worsening tinnitus broke the band up soon afterward, and there wouldn't be another studio album until 2004.
