"It Happens Every Time" comes from Joy 1967–1990, the second album by Ultra Vivid Scene, Kurt Ralske's project, which arrived on May 7, 1990. Ralske wrote it on his own, but this time he didn't produce himself: back in the studio in November 1989 after his self-made debut, he brought in Hugh Jones, whose résumé ran through Echo & the Bunnymen, Modern English and the Damned, plus a handful of session players.

Jones produced, engineered and mixed this one, sharing the mix with Helen Woodward, with Guy Fixsen assisting. Ralske meant the album's title as an inscription for a tombstone, and once the record was done he put together a full band, Collin Rae on guitar, Byron Guthrie on drums and Josephine Wiggs on bass, to take Ultra Vivid Scene on the road for the first time.
