The song was used on the soundtrack of the movie The Chocolate War in 1988. On the album and subsequent releases the title was 'Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God)'. Bush relented and changed the title for the single.
Representatives at EMI were hesitant to release the single as 'A Deal With God' due its use of the word 'God', which might lead to a negative reception. The working title of 'Running Up That Hill' was 'A Deal With God'. Alan Murphy added guitar parts whereas Paddy Bush, always providing the most ingenious instruments, played the rather better known balalaika on this track.

Kate played the first versions of the songs to Paul Hardiman on 6 October 1983. The lyrics speak of Bush's impossible wish to become her lover, and he her, so that they could know what the other felt. The electronic drums, programmed by Del Palmer, and the Fairlight part were present from the first recording of the song. It was the first song recorded for the subsequent fifth studio album Hounds Of Love. The song was reportedly written in one evening in the summer of 1983.
