I Must Be Doing Something Right / Fight Fire With Fire

Mid-tempo stomper, ‘I must be doing something right’, is an irresistible sassy classic, originally the B side of the single ‘If you got what it takes (they can’t take what you got)’ released on Maverick Records. The horns and drums tease the toe-tapping rhythm along while Delia belts out with raw fire about not being a great looker, cook or housecleaner for her man, “but when it’s time for sleeping, he thinks I’m something outtasight. I must be doing something right”. Cheeky in spirit, chunky in swing. Full of all the urgency and feistiness you’d expect from a repressed southern soul vocalist.

Written by Delia and Hannibal, ‘Fight fire with fire’ boasts a similar production style but this time with a prominent electric guitar riff, emotive strings and heavenly backing vocals. Describing the cheating man who’s gonna get exactly what he dishes out, Delia reads out the riot act with more punchy promise than threat.
