"Temporary One" is a Fleetwood Mac song written by Eddy Quintela and Christine McVie. It first appeared on their 1997 live album The Dance and was one of the four previously unreleased compositions included on the album.[1]
Background
[edit | edit source]McVie wrote "Temporary One" about moving back to England and completed the song prior to the conception of The Dance reunion.[2] In May 1997, "Temporary One" was recorded on a Warner Bros. sound stage and filmed for an MTV special and a live album.[3] Buckingham characterised "Temporary One" as a "uptempo song with a pop feel" when discussing the new material submitted for inclusion in the setlist for their sound stage performance.[4] Fleetwood Mac also performed the song live following the release of The Dance.[5]
In September 1997, "Temporary One" was serviced to radio stations in continental Europe and also issued as a retail single in certain countries.
