"Georgia" comes from Architecture & Morality, the third studio album by Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark, released through Dindisc on 6 November 1981. Paul Humphreys and Andy McCluskey wrote it, and the band produced it with Richard Manwaring.
The album around it found the English electronic group pushing their sound somewhere new. Taking their cue from religious music, they reached for choral samples and the Mellotron among other fresh instruments, chasing something more natural and emotional. Peter Saville, a longtime collaborator, designed the sleeve with Brett Wickens, and the title came from David Watkin's book Morality and Architecture, its two halves swapped.
