"Love Explosion" comes from Vermillion, the Three O'Clock's fourth and final album, released in 1988 on Paisley Park Records, the label Prince founded. The song is Ian Broudie's, words and music, and the album around it was produced by Ian Ritchie, with Jason Falkner newly on board on guitar.
Prince gave the band a song of his own for the same record, "Neon Telephone", with Wendy and Lisa singing on it, which says something about the company the Three O'Clock were keeping by then. The Ottawa Citizen heard the whole album as a band in pursuit of real pop, with enough sense to know when to stop.
