She was all the same a complete unknown in her dwelling house country when she suggested the lyric "Love to Honey You Baby" to Moroder in 1975. He turned the lyric into a full disco song and asked Summer to tape it. The total lyrics were somewhat explicit, and at kickoff, Summer said she would merely record it as a demo to give to someone else. However, Summertime'south erotic moans and groans impressed Moroder so much that he persuaded her to release it every bit her own vocal, and "Beloved to Love You" became a moderate hit in the Netherlands.

In an interview in 1976, Summer responded to a number of questions that she claimed she'd been asked about the process of recording the song: "Everyone's asking, 'Were you lonely in the studio?' Aye, I was alone in the studio. 'Did you bear on yourself?' Yes, well, actually I had my manus on my knee. 'Did you fantasize on anything?' Yes, on my handsome boyfriend Peter."^[5]

Yet, Summer again had reservations; she was non sure of all of the lyrics. Nevertheless, she imagined herself as an extra (namely Marilyn Monroe)^[6] playing the part of someone in sexual ecstasy.
