It was written by band members Brian Harvey, John Hendy and Terry Coldwell alongside Ivor Reid, Jon Beckford and Mark Reid and co-produced with the group by Mark Reid and Jon Beckford.
Critical reception John O'Brien from AllMusic noted that "Resurrection struggled to convince anyone of their new direction, as evident on their final single, the aimless and tuneless "Betcha Can't Wait."
