Written by Ronnie Lane and Ronnie Wood (Jeff Beck Group, Rolling Stones), it was the title song for the band's last studio album, also titled Ooh La La. It was Ronnie Wood, not Rod Stewart or Ronnie Lane, who sang the lead vocal for this song. Lane and Stewart were at odds at the time. Stewart did not think the song was up to his standards although both he and Lane recorded lead vocals for it. Their producer suggested Wood give it a try, and that's the version that was used for the album. Rod Stewart covered the song on his 1998 solo album When We Were the New Boys in tribute to the recently deceased Lane.
