Song written by Boy George, Luke Begley and Roland Faber. Recorded by Boy George and Kim Wilde for Boy George's 2021 album 'Cool Karaoke Volume 1'.
Boy George initially premiered the album in January 2021 on his Instagram and YouTube channels. He explained: "Most of the music that I've loved has been played to me by other people. You be the DJ, spread the love, tell people about this record. Enjoy it." In May, the album was out on Spotify, and a "limited edition CD" was made available in October.
'Name and Number' was recorded in 2020, around the same time as Shine On, which was another duet of the two.
