This 1963 single saw Leyton move away from the Joe Meek-produced hits, adopting a more straightforward pop-rock sound. It charted modestly, reaching number 49 on the UK singles chart.
- The B-side, 'I've Got No Time To Lose', was also penned by the hit-making songwriting duo Geoff Goddard and Bob Barry. Leyton's previous single, 'Wild Wind', had been a number 1 hit earlier in 1963. The track was released on the independent label Top Rank, which would soon be absorbed by EMI.
- The single was recorded at Lansdowne Studios in London. It was released as a 7-inch vinyl single with the catalog number TOP 1017.
- Following 'Cupboard Love', Leyton's chart performance declined, and he returned to acting, though he continued to release music sporadically. This single marked a shift in his musical direction from the distinctive "Meek sound" of his earlier hits.
