Backing vocals on the single were performed by Patti Austin, Valerie Simpson and Phoebe Snow.Written after Simon's divorce from first wife Peggy Harper, the song is a mistress's humorous advice to a husband on ways to end a relationship: Just slip out the back, Jack/Make a new plan, Stan. The song is anchored by a "linear" drum pattern performed by studio drummer Steve Gadd, which became the hook and color for the song. Read more on Last.fm.
