Patti remembers the moment Fred burst into their kitchen with the idea for this song: "It was around 1986. I was in the kitchen.

And I was peeling potatoes, and I remember I was in a bad mood because I had, you know, I was making dinner and washing the clothes and peeling potatoes. And in the middle of it, Fred came in and said, 'Tricia, people have the power, write it. .
