The track was an early production of the hitmaking team Stock Aitken Waterman. "Can the Rhythm" was also released in the United States, where it was released through Geffen Records and reached #26 on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart in 1985. In 1987, the sisters moved to WEA and released two further singles, "Falling for You" (produced by the Quick) and "I Will Give You Love" (produced by John Rocca), which both failed to chart. Unlike most of the girl groups of the era, three of their singles were written solely by a group member; in this case, by Karen Wright. (en)
