Guitarist Hodges wrote the urgent, romantic "Love and Happiness" one morning in between having sex with his girlfriend and watching wrestling on TV. Green saw "Love and Happiness" as a key track, along with the title song, on his fourth album for Hi Records, I'm Still in Love With You. Green later described the song as "like a slow fever, building on the beat, pushing up the temperature with each breath of the staccato horns and pushing through delirium as we came up on the fade."
