eddie schwartz, writer of the song, said that he came up with the title of the song after attending a "pillow punching" therapy session in toronto, but stated that the title is to be taken metaphorically. the song is in e major and features a general chord progression of i-iv-vi-v, with occasional added chords built on passing and neighboring tones, although benatar has commented that in hindsight she would have preferred to replace the c# minor (vi) chord with f# minor (ii). the song was released as a single in the usa, and possibly other markets, in a mix with an additional lead guitar track. the song was later one of the songs available to put on a free mail-order customized mix cd with every pizza order as a part of a pizza hut promotion for their "new yorker"-style pizza.
