<P> On 30 April 2008, the single celebrated its 25th anniversary, and in honour, EMI released a brand new True EP on 5 May 2008, which included the original single, the new mix found on Reformation and the remastered album version, plus a live recordings of "True" and "Gold" from the last show of the group's 1983 tour at Sadlers Wells . </P> <P> A notable omission is that Spandau Ballet bassist Martin Kemp did not perform on the track; rather, a bass synthesiser was used instead . However, Kemp would play in his capacity for future live performances . </P> <P> It was composed by group leader Gary Kemp who wrote the song at his parents' house, where he lived at the time . It is a six - minute (in its original album version) song that in part pays tribute to the Motown artist Marvin Gaye, who is mentioned in the lyrics, and the sound he helped to establish . The song was recorded before Gaye's murder a year later . The song was also partly about Kemp's platonic relationship with Altered Images singer Clare Grogan . Some phrases in the lyrics (including the much - quoted reference to "seaside arms") were adapted from Vladimir Nabokov's novel Lolita, a copy of which Grogan had given Kemp . The song is written in the key of G major . It has a tempo of 98 BPM and a chord progression of G, Em, C / G, Bm . The song changes key when it hits the instrumental break . The instrumental break is in the key of E ♭ major . </P> <P> In 2015, the song was voted by the British public as the nation's tenth - favourite 1980s number one in a poll for ITV . However, it has also been named as one of the worst songs ever recorded, with the lyrical content gaining particular derision from Guardian journalist Luke Williams and the NME . </P>
