Recorded at Wonderland Studios and 1 Der 1 Mobile Unit, Los Angeles, California.

Commissioned by Spike Lee to compose music for his film on interracial relationships, Stevie Wonder used JUNGLE FEVER as a triumphant entry into the '90s, after a decade marked by a spotty and sporadic output. Wonder plays a variety of instruments and does all of the arrangements for inspirational songs including the upbeat father-daughter ditty "Fun Day" and the gorgeous "These Three Words," a song about the goodness found within the strong bonds of familial love.

Writing from the perspective of a jilted woman, Wonder penned "If She Breaks Your Heart" for the honey-sweet vocals of Kimberly Brewer. Elsewhere Wonder uses the language of funk to address family disharmony ("Each Other's Throats"), lust ("Gotta Have You") and interracial dating ("Jungle Fever.") While the melancholic ruminations of "Make Sure You're Sure" mark it as a potential jazz standard, the surprisingly bubbly "Chemical Love" belies the tragic make-up of Samuel Jackson's crack-addicted character in the film.
