It was written by Giorgio Moroder and Tom Whitlock, and produced by Moroder and Brian Reeves.[1] "When the Love Is Good" reached No. 83 on the UK Singles Chart and remained in the Top 100 for three weeks.[2]
The song's music video was directed by Marcelo Anciano and produced by AWGO.[3]
On its release, Billboard described the song as a "sweeping female-sung technoballad".[4] In a review of Big Trouble, Saw Tek Meng of the New Straits Times commented: "Big Trouble show enough chops on tracks like "When the Love is Good" [and] "Crazy World" to indicate they should survive longer than the average female band."[5]
