In 1978, Rick Davies and Roger Hodgson both have quasi-aboundies compositions. As for Even in the quietest moments … (1977) The two singers will bring together their creations to finally sign the album jointly. Davies and Hodgson have the same idea, that of writing an entertaining album. Hence the idea of ​​renamed the album initially titled Hello Stranger with a more fun expression, Breakfast in America. The recording will take place in an ideal good humor. A state of mind that is felt throughout the album. The titles are more pop, lighter than the group's former albums.
