The record balances synth-pop with lingering elements of Stewart’s rock-and-roll identity:
But Body Wishes was different. This was Rod fully embracing the 80s. Gone were the acoustic guitars and Celtic flourries. In their place were LinnDrum machines, gated reverb snares, and synthesizer basslines. The goal was simple: compete with Michael Jackson's Thriller and Prince's 1999 for dancefloor dominance.
With lyrics focusing entirely on physical desire and the female form, the song is unapologetic 80s cock-rock. It’s sleazy, fun, and undeniably catchy—a snapshot of a rock star enjoying the party.
