Ken Hensley wrote both the words and the music for "Stealin'", and Uriah Heep cut it for Sweet Freedom, a concept album, then put it out as a single on Bronze with "Sunshine" on the B-side. It's British hard rock with its chest puffed out and its collar turned up, all strut and no apology, and it earned the band a gold record in New Zealand.
