America’s self-titled debut album was initially released in Europe with only moderate success and without the song “A Horse with No Name.” Looking for a song that would be popular in both the United States and Europe, producer Ian Samwell helped the group to record the song and persuaded the Warner Brothers label to re-release the album with “Horse …” included.

Originally entitled “Desert Song,” the song was renamed at Samwell’s suggestion. It was written on a rainy day in England and was intended to capture the feel of the hot, dry desert Bunnell remembered from his childhood at Vandenberg Air Force Base.
