"In the Mood" comes off The Principle of Moments, Robert Plant's second solo album, from 1983, a coolly circling slice of pop rock from a singer who'd rather hypnotize than holler. Plant wrote it with guitarist Robbie Blunt and bassist Paul Martinez, and Genesis' Phil Collins sits behind the drums, with Gerald Woodruffe on keyboards and John David and Ray Martinez on backing vocals. Plant produced it himself alongside Benji Lefevre and Pat Moran, who also engineered.

American radio took to it as an album track first, pushing it to No. 4 on Billboard's Top Tracks chart, and when Atlantic put it out as a single it followed "Big Log" into the top 40 of the Hot 100, topping out at No. 39 early in 1984.
