The song was the first of two singles from their Second Take LP, and the only one to chart. The B-side was a non-album track. It was written by the songwriting team of Valerie Murtagh and Harold Spiro.

"Desdemona" reached No. 94 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and No. 79 on Cash Box.[1][2] It did not chart outside the United States.
