"Communication" was the third single pulled from The Power Station, the band's 1985 debut album, and four names share the writing credit: Robert Palmer, Andy Taylor, John Taylor and Derek Bramble. Bernard Edwards produced it, with Jason Corsaro engineering and mixing and Rob Eaton, Steve Rinkoff and Tony Taverner lending extra hands behind the desk.
The single came loaded for the clubs, carrying a special club mix and a remix, both reworked by Edwards and Josh Abbey, with "Murderess" on the B-side. The video cut clips of the band playing the song in the studio against a stream of footage about the ways the world communicates.
