In 1991, A-ha had started writing new material for their fifth studio album Memorial Beach when A-ha's label, Warner Bros., suggested releasing a compilation album. The label wanted the band to provide one or two new songs for the compilation and "Move to Memphis" was then recorded for inclusion on the album.[5] To promote its release as a single, a music video was filmed, directed by Erick Ifergan and starring French actress Beatrice Dalle.[6] A new version of the song would appear on Memorial Beach, released in 1993.[7] It was produced by David Z and A-ha.[8]
