"Talk to Me" is one of three songs from the album Ace Frehley wrote and sings on. The album also features most of Frehley's material, who got more involved in songwriting after his solo album was released. Although Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons decided to make a pop-rock album(unusual for Kiss), Frehley's compositions remained hard rock, as much as they could be. After Peter Criss' departure, Frehley would be often out-voted 2-1 by Simmons and Stanley(Eric Carr wasn't a partner in the band as others were , but rather an employee), who then decided to make a pop-rock album. "Talk to Me" is one of only two songs from the album not to be co-written by producer Vini Poncia, with other being another Frehley song "Two Sides of the Coin".Frehley also played bass guitar on the song, instead of Simmons, who is the bassist in the band. Simmons didn't play bass guitar on any of Frehley's compositions and on some of Stanley's.

"Talk to Me" was never released as a single in the United States, but was a Top-40 hit in Australia, Holland, Germany and Switzerland(where it reached the highest position, #10). The song would be usually released with "Naked City" as a B-side. In Japan, it was released with "Easy As It Seems" as a B-side because "Naked City" was already released as a B-side for "Tomorrow". The band filmed a lip-synched performance video for West German television. On November 21, the band performed at Sydney Showground. The concert was filmed and broadcast as "The Inner Sanctum". Although the concert was never released as a live album, performances of "Talk to Me" and "New York Groove" have appeared on Kiss albums("Talk to Me" on The Box Set and "New York Groove" on You Wanted the Best, You Got the Best!!).
