In the Smithereens guitar book, Pat DiNizio explains that he wrote the song to sound like the style of Smokey Robinson. There was also a music video directed by Jeff Stein (known for his work on The Kids Are Alright).[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRaDyf_kd_k Too Much Passion Official Music Video on YouTube]
