She also spends much of the song criticising her friend for rushing to break the "bad news" to her.

Gary Moore engineered the 1987 digital transfer for the album's first release on compact disc.

As well as composing the piece, Lloyd Webber also arranged and produced the album. Released in 1980, having been recorded in the latter part of 1979, it was one of his first pieces of work to be published by his own Really Useful Company, which he had formed three years earlier.

The one-woman show was first performed at the Sydmonton Festival in September 1979 starring Marti Webb, who had been appearing in Evita as the alternate for Eva Perón. The show toured the United Kingdom, beginning on 30 August 2010 at Northampton’s Royal Theatre and continuing until autumn 2011.[11] The tour starred Claire Sweeney as ‘the girl’ and was directed by Tamara Harvey. The script was again updated for the 21st century, and ‘the girl’ was rewritten as originating from Liverpool, like Claire Sweeney herself. The song list stayed closer to the original, although a new finale was added, “Dreams Never Run On Time”, itself a rewrite of the song “Somewhere, Someplace, Sometime” from the 2003 version. Following its closure, on 28th April 1984, a special performance of Song and Dance featuring Sarah Brightman performing Tell Me on a Sunday was filmed at the Palace Theatre and later broadcast on UK television. For the 2003 production of Tell Me on a Sunday, the storyline instead placed the action in England prior to an emigration to New York, requiring some further revision of the lyrics to reference London instead.

Thereafter, performances may initially be sold at half capacity in case restrictions remain, although capacities may increase if not.
