She had also released an album in The Netherlands entitled Lady of the Night (1974), written by Giorgio Moroder and Pete Bellotte and produced past Bellotte, which had given her a couple of hit singles. She was still a complete unknown in her dwelling land when she suggested the lyric "Love to Love You Baby" to Moroder in 1975. He turned the lyric into a full disco song and asked Summer to record it. The total lyrics were somewhat explicit, and at first, Summer said she would only tape information technology as a demo to give to someone else. Nonetheless, Summertime's erotic moans and groans impressed Moroder so much that he persuaded her to release it as her ain song, and "Love to Love Yous" became a moderate hitting in the Netherlands.

In an interview in 1976, Summer responded to a number of questions that she claimed she'd been asked about the procedure of recording the vocal: "Everyone'south asking, 'Were yous alone in the studio?' Yes, I was alone in the studio. 'Did y'all touch yourself?' Yep, well, actually I had my paw on my knee. 'Did you fantasize on anything?' Yep, on my handsome boyfriend Peter."^[5]

Nonetheless, Summer once again had reservations; she was not sure of all of the lyrics. Withal, she imagined herself as an actress (namely Marilyn Monroe)^{[half dozen]} playing the part of someone in sexual ecstasy. The studio lights were dimmed so that Summer was more or less in consummate darkness equally she lay on the floor.

The final recording lasted over 16 minutes, and according to the BBC, contained 23 "orgasms".^[6] By that point, the song was renamed "Beloved to Love You lot Baby".
