As Sonny & Cher, they had numerous hits in the mid-1960s, but their success waned as psychedelic rock and hippie music took over the charts. Bono used some of their accumulated earnings to finance two films: Good Times, a musical comedy starring Sonny & Cher, and directed by William Friedkin, and Chastity, with Cher sans Bono turning in a decent dramatic performance as a tough but vulnerable wanderer. Bono wrote the screenplay and score and produced the film. Both flopped at the box office, and Sonny & Cher were considered passé.

With a new record contract from Atco records and a $2,000 advance (and a promise of 7.5% royalties), Sonny took IGUB into the studio. The sound included a piano aided by a balalaika mandolin guitar. Friend and Soul Station entrepreneur Harold Battiste arranged the track in a cram session at Gold Star Studios in Hollywood, California, between July 7 and 9, 1965.

Cher began an unexpected comeback with the release of Believe and a book, The First Time. The track "Believe" became an instant hit in England topping the UK Singles chart for 7 weeks, and was making waves in the U.S. by the end of the year.

In an attempt to capitalize on the duo’s success, Sonny penned their first feature film (themed similarly to The Beatles’ Yellow Submarine) Good Times in 1967, in which the duo starred. The film was a flop.
