The song was produced by Duran Duran’s Nick Rhodes and Duran Duran’s main producer Colin Thurston. Kajagoogoo’s lead sing, Limahl, had met Rhodes while working as a waiter at an exclusive London Club. ‘Too Shy’ would be the band’s debut single and would give them a UK chart topper before Duran Duran managed their first UK number 1. It would be 1 of 38 songs to top 2 of the 3 radio station charts mentioned above and just miss out on the 3^rd where they peaked at 2.
