Writing and recording

The album version of "I'm Mandy Fly Me" features an intro in the form of one of the bridge sections of the band's 1974 song "Clockwork Creep". The section, whose lyrics are "Oh, no you'll never get me up in one of these again / 'Cause what goes up must come down", is rendered soft and tinny, as if heard playing from a portable transistor radio or an in-flight audio system.
In a radio interview, songwriter Eric Stewart recalled the origins of the song:
He continued:
Record World said that it has "shifting harmonies and twisting time signatures."
