In this song, Mick Jagger is trying to get his girl back, promising to come to her "emotional rescue" if she takes him back. He comes off a little creepy, especially in the spoken part where he repeats, "You will be mine, all mine."
Like their hit "Miss You," this song is a sop to disco, with Mick Jagger singing much of the song in falsetto, Ã la The Bee Gees. Many Stones fans hated it, but the song was a hit; released as the first single from the album, it made the Top 10 in many territories, including the UK and US.
The song didn't have much staying power, though, and was rarely heard once it fell off the charts. The next single from the album, "She's So Cold," was more typical of their sound and had a much longer shelf life.
Around this time, Keith Richards was less involved because he was getting cleaned up, so Mick Jagger had a lot of creative control on the Emotional Rescue album. Jagger wrote the song in the studio on an electric piano, then recorded the basic track with drummer Charlie Watts and bass player Ron Wood. Keith Richards overdubbed some guitar, but had little else to do with it. Still, per tradition, the song was credited as having been written by him and Jagger.
