"The Body Electric" is a cut from Grace Under Pressure, the tenth studio album Rush released in April 1984, with Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson writing the music and Neil Peart the words. Work started in August 1983, once the tour for Signals had wrapped, and this time the band went without Terry Brown, the producer they'd worked with since 1974. Finding someone who could commit to the job took some doing before they landed on Peter Henderson, who co-produced with them and engineered.

The album pushed further down the synthesizer-heavy road the band had already taken on Signals, and here Lee and Lifeson are both credited on synths, alongside Lee's bass and lead vocal, Lifeson's guitar, and Peart's drums and percussion.
