Wicked Smile

Wicked Smile - is the seventh single from the pop rock band The New Romantic Devils from their eighth studio album The Devil You Know. ￼ The song was written by K. Hudson/R.Monroe/P. Reed. The song is sung by Rachel and Peyton. The song started out as a song called Forbidden Alibi and Then Secret Alibi. It was combined with new music written by Hudson and Reed on a bass line and Drum track. The song is part of trilogy sweet in the middle of the album dealing with addiction and craving a forbidden love. 
Background
The song intro was lifted from an older demo of an unpublished song to give some texture to the buildup. The song in its infant demo stage is one of the oldest track they had in the vault. At the suggestion of producer Freddy Spencer , The New Romantic Devils added elements of disco. Hudson has stated " We were really trying to get a sound that was similar to Pink Floyd but still have our elements of us in it." According to guitarist Archie Monroe:[Spencer] said to me, "Go and listen to "The Wall and go listen to as many disco recordings as you can to get an idea for the guitar parts music," so I forced myself and listened to loud, four-to-the-bar bass drums and stuff and thought, Gawd, how awful this is. but then i went back and tried to turn one of the parts into one of those so it would be catchy.Monroe recorded his guitar solo using a 1955 Gibson Les Paul guitar with P-90 pick-ups. Despite his reservations about Spencer's additions, Archie felt the final song still sounded like good and like The New Romantic Devils. When Spencer heard the song he was convinced it could become a single, but he also felt he wanted a longer version on the album. So they recorded a 4:55 version and a 6:10 second version and 9:50 second version. They scrapped the 4:55 version and recorded the 9:55 for the album and 6:10 as a single. 
While the band members were away, Spencer took the three versions and edited them so that the band had no idea what was used from either of the three versions.
