 It was written by Hartman and Charlie Midnight, and was produced by Hartman and Richard Landis.After Hartman's international success with "I Can Dream About You", along with the "same-titled album" released in 1984, it seemed that Hartman would continue gaining hit singles, especially after the album spawned another two American Top 40 singles "We Are the Young" and "Second Nature".However, when "Get Outta Town" was released, the single failed to make an impact in America or Europe.
