==Background==
Julian Lennon sent the Charisma Records label head, Tony Stratton-Smith, a demo tape in September 1983. After listening to the tape and being impressed with Lennon's songwriting skills, Stratton-Smith signed Lennon to the label in the United Kingdom, while Lennon got signed to Atlantic Records in the United States after its label head, Ahmet Ertegun, was also impressed with Lennon's songwriting.〔 A month later, Lennon, with his friends Justin Clayton and Carlton Morales, started a three-month stay at a French château, ''Manor de Valotte'', in Nevers, France, writing and demoing songs for what would appear on ''Valotte''.〔 In an interview with ''Rock Bill'' magazine, Lennon said that he "had a lot of the material" before embarking to the château. About the songs, Lennon said that half the songs on the album had "already () written on the piano" in short pieces, about "a year or two before".〔 In an interview for ''No 1'' magazine, Lennon said the pieces were not originally "for an album", and that some of the music was "written several years ago, some () new". The lyrics were added only a few years prior to recording the songs for the album.〔
